My first three flying lessons had nil wind, two flights in a 170 and one in a 172....hey landings didn't seem tough and thought I'd be greasing them in no time. Most lessons afterward (all in the 172) have been 15kt buffeting, crab-happy, sweaty handfuls during landing not to mention the ATC juggling. Then I got a nice 6kt "windy" day it felt like a flight sim on easy mode in comparison...although I still have not truly greased a landing. I thank my old CFI for the "let's go" on those windy days to build my acclimation and confidence.
