Great little XC there, I try to do it once a week for hours/food. I love the weekend night flights home to get those night hours. The most gusts I've had so far is 28 and let me tell you my hands were sweating after I got down safely haha. Poor eagle had to be completely taken apart a year ago to work on rusty parts. It's definitely showing its age.
+Greg Ellis Thank you sir! It was a windy day all round from Kissimmee over to Vero.. Winds definitely picked up around Vero though, more than the reports suggested.

Nice landing lewis
Thanks! This is one of my favourites
@@LewDixAviation exactly - nothing like greasing a crosswind / gusty landing with a little squeak squeak as the mains touchdown.
1:37... I do exactly what you did. Sometimes saying "a go around is an option" is imperative just to remind ourselves that it really is an option.
You came a long way man!
good work
Nice one! I was expecting something a bit more bumpy with those winds. Well done.
Thanks mate.. Very difficult landing but I'm happy with my performance!
Great landing under some tough conditions.
Thanks Spencer! Difficult landing for sure!
Great landing, and great vids!
The quick frown face from (your instructor?) I think meant "huh..did a lot better than I could have" lol
Nice video mate - look forward to the next one :)
You did quite well. Factors into about a 10 knot sustained crosswind plus the gusts. Nicely done. Possibly from the outflow from the rain cell nearby?

I think the ground controller was "hitting" on you!! lol
BTW, can you show us the paint job?
Haha I would hope not! In one of my next videos I show you the paint job!
I work in this tower, have for 10 years, the GC was defintitely not Hitting on him lol, thats what we call being nice and professional.
What's the paint job?
An eagle
Try landing in Oklahoma this is the weather everyday--I was told if you can land in Oklahoma you can land anyplace
Interesting to discover your new minimums on landings, no? :D
It was certainly testing, but actually one of my best landings to date
