Should I Have Even Taken Off?! A Challenging Flight in Leeds! | Cessna 150 Crosswind Landing

On this flight, I tackled a 12-knot crosswind landing in Leeds - but should I have even taken off in the first place?! Flying a Cessna 150, I encountered challenging wind conditions that put my private pilot skills to the test. This flight took place while I was performing in The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, and I made the most of my time off by getting airborne!

Join me in this real-life flying adventure, where I break down the flight, explain my decision-making process, and talk about the challenges of handling crosswinds as a private pilot. Whether you're an avgeek, student pilot, flight sim enthusiast, or just love aviation content, this video has something for you!

✅ Takeoff and landing footage in challenging conditions
✅ Full cockpit experience with real ATC radio
