And kids, I paid full fare for this flight. So don't think it was a free ride.
Merry Christmas, and may all your dreams come true
B, a cross wind. The wind is coming from 320 degrees (WNW). You are landing on a heading of approximately 030, or NNE. Therefore, the wind is off your left. That is an angular difference of 040+030 or 70 degrees off of your left.
