        I met Mike Patey at the Reno air races this year. This crushes me even more because he is a super-nice guy. He couldn't race (ironically, the insurance was too expensive), so he brought his plane and then met/greet everyone from Wednesday through Sunday at his plane on the tarmac. Those winds have a name - Washoe Zephyr.

            I saw this last night. I've been following his stuff ever since you posted a link to his channel earlier this year.
