It was the perfect day to fly the Cog Rail. Unfortunately Mother Nature had other plans. By the time I got to the first switch it was like hitting a brick wall, the winds went from about 20mph to plus 50mph

Yeah, that weather can change in a heartbeat...there's about 150 or so that couldn't make the adjustment fast enough. Isn't highest US contiguous states wind velocity ever recorded at the summit?
