Biggest gust I saw here at Ohakea was 39kts (72kph) in the afternoon. We flew in the morning before it got too gusty. The Bell 47G Sioux cruises around 60kts (111kph) and being so light is hugely affected by wind.
EJK, that was no mean feat braving the wind on a small bike and making your destination safely. Well done and may your good fortune continue.
Many years ago I picked up (and perhaps dropped) some searchers there but that was an Iroquois. From memory we were conducting a hut search to figure out the movements of an overdue tramper.
Edit: i think the searchers were all local cops and remember dropping the last group at Palmy airport.
