  • the Piper Arrow at 1:05 did a pretty good job actually!! haha i was pretty amazed! as for that C210 that people are talking about, at 2:35 ... I'd just like to say he was really draggin it in lol... On windy days (at least gusty for sure) i usually bump up up my Vref up 5 kias just because one good gust can really knock you on your ass. Hope no one got in too much trouble that day (minus that ultralight and bonanza).. Good video! Cheers

  • I'll wait for a nice 5-10 kt. day, thank you.

  • they look exactly like my rc-plane on final :D

  • Next time it's blowing like this you just need to set up a little booth out there with your computer... you can sell people video of themselves like the pictures you get at Disneyland taking the drop on the log ride!

  • I remember this day haha,  ultralight got owned...

  • I think almost all those planes were passing their max demonstrated x-wind component, haha.

  • Ya no kidding... There's some crazy pilots out there.  I can't imagine going up in winds gusting to 41 kts.

  • yuk, a windy day?

  • I am a 310-N driver from KMYF. Full flaps on the twin Cessna 310 on a strong and gusty x-wind is not advisable. A no-flap hot landing is much easier to manage on a day like this. He did a nice grease job on touchdown. congrats!!

  • When i came back from my long x/c when i was training I landed on runway 7 with wind 040@19g29. I HATE runway 7! haha

  • Still one of my all time favorites.....over and over again.

  • Poor Bonanza!

  • The minuma flaps you should use in a crosswind is 10 on downwind and 20 on final.

  • Looks like 640AM, the white Cessna. Nice flying, Mike!

  • Good day for a firts solo flight

  • haha i hope your joking :). Nice videos sure is one windy day :) gonna start flying lessons hopefully this week :)

  • Too much trees!!! There must be lots of turbulence!

  • You got that right. We only land that direction 5 or 10 days a year.

  • At 1:40 that Cessna 310 landing with what looks like full flaps... shouldn't he use no flaps?.. I've landed a Cessna 206 in a 35 knot crosswind with 0 flap.. worked ok.

  • I was just taking pictures.

  • Ok.

  • I was finishing up my PPL training when these winds were kicking up. Though I was soloing by this time, I would call up my instructor to have him give me some wind training at Van Nuys, with the runways turned around from 16 L/R to 34 R/L. The worst I flew in was around 18 gusting to 24. I'd land at best half of them, and would go around the other half. You never knew if the wind would carry you halfway down the runway, or would swat you into the dirt before the threshold.

    Good times.

  • Nice video! Haven't check your page for a while :)

  • Very high risk of running off the side of the runway, especially since KAJO has such a narrow runway.

  • Wider than some but yes.

  • have you been to Bermuda Dunes Airport (KUDD)? That's a horrible experience on windy days. The runway is less wide than KAJO and there are a bunch of trees lined up against the runway on the north side. The wind is really unpredictable there because of all of the trees and buildings and other things the wind is making it's way around.

  • I've been there. Yep!

  • ...and that's where I was.

  • What were you flying? I was there most of the day and my hanger faces the approach end. I may have video of it.

  • Fun to watch... but it was more exciting to fly it! I guess you missed my landing that day... I didn't see in in your collection. It was a wild ride!

  • Good Video! Who's the band?

  • The band is CCR!

  • hey cool vid. i watch all of them. keep them comming cuz im watching. lol. neway take care and best wishes to you and your family/friends.

    Mike T.

  • Thanks you very much.
