Yesterday I decided to take the old 747V1 up for a spin. I flew from Louisville KY to Columbia SC in the storm. When I hit FL 400 the turbulence was so bad that the airspeed fluctuated from being in the red to the stall horn. In the outside view it looked like a bird flapping her wings. I had a 146 knot crosswind. I requested FL 370 and when I got down there all was fine. Then at about 80 the turbulence started again. I always hand fly from the top down and it was a handful. I got nailed after I was on the glideslope. I was at about 160-170 knots when I got hit by wind shear. My airspeed immediately dropped to less than 130. I was at 20. There was no recovery. Good old' FSX showed the nose on the ground still yelling "Pull-UP".

Yep. Got a wake up call similar to that while on approach to Midway in Chicago soon after I purchased it. Rude surprise.
