Windy Flying

A bit late getting this in, Friday went flying in the Cessna 150. It was a very challenging flight, 35kt wind at 3000ft, tons of turbulence under 1600ft which made any pattern work out of the question. We did stalls, which went just fine and dutch rolls, which I didn’t quite get the hang of. I want to practice the dutch rolls more another day. One the way to the practice area the GPS said our ground speed was 32knots, indicated airspeed was 80, on the way back we were doing 111knots with an indicated 80. We only got in .7, we were going to do some landings but I had to quit early due to the turbulence, it was just too much.
