>> I have taken off once in 35mph winds w/50mph gusts from CVG. It was a

Was once waiting to board a DASH-8 at Toronto island. It was a pretty
strong snow storm, with huge wind gusts. There were times where we could
barely see the plane from the old historic terminal.
I was chatting with other passengers and we all expected this flight to
be rather bumpy and hoping no passenger would upchuck during the flight.
We boarded aircraft, the pilot started engines, rolled to runway,
accelerated, took of and while there was a tiny bit of shaking for a few
seconds, there was nothing out of the ordinary and before we knew it,
the flight was smooth and above the storm. The storm had not yet reached
montreal, so the landing there was normal. |
