Better that sitting on a plane or stuck in an outstation like SMF or ONT.
The wind was pretty constant easterly in the morning but by 1000 the windsock I could see was showing a pretty bad crosswind vector and as we became airborne, the 764 I was on did some serious wing-waggling as we took of from 7L over Inglewood.
