No it's not impossible, as long as the Cessna is flying at exactly 121kts, it will "hover" therefore, you can land it on just about anything. The same's true for all of the other FS aircraft. I discovered this when I tried to fly a Piper Cub in 45kts winds, a few years ago.

No, you're thinking of headwinds.

If it's a tailwind it is impossible, but if you turn around 180 then it's a headwind.

No, because then you'd be flying directly into wind.

ok, then It would be a headwind unless the cessna had reversers which it does not

ya really, whats up with that? part of me wants to chalk it up to April fools day, but another part thinks its for real- mostly because of our bickering on silly games like this one.  This is the second bad news I've gotten today- the first one was that FSescortfighters.com is closing down.
