Naval aviation training, especially, prepares you for rainy and windy days.
Fly into Palm Springs on any summer day. Harrowing. Wind is a factor every day.
My 3 leg cross-country flight was Brown Field -> 29 Palms -> Yuma -> Brown Field. On the 29 Palms to Yuma leg, there was a very strong down draft. I had some items floating in the cockpit. Even more annoying, I was calling the tower at Yuma to notify them that I was inbound and to arrange a preferred entry to their airspace. The civilian VHF was turned down. They were ignoring me. When I got to their airspace, they finally noticed and got all worked up. They directed me to follow another aircraft to the civilian airstrip pattern. Upon landing, I called my flight instructor and he read them the riot act. It's a dual use airport with a military runway and a civilian one. The air controllers are military. It worked out and I flew back to Brown after a re-fuel.
