Description: Unexpected opportunity for an impromptu flight with the Freewing F-35C Lightning II. The crosswinds started out North-Northeast, then abruptly switched to North-Northwest. The F-35C handled the change without a problem. The real question was whether I could handle flying the F-35C from my least favorite direction. No problem—I just flew a little higher than I normally prefer.
