We have planes that fly into freaking hurricanes

On a recent flight from Love Field to LAX we were flying into a 100mph+ headwind...slowed us down significantly, but don't think it was anything serious...

A sudden headwind would result in unexpected lift. It's a sudden tailwind or downdraft you have to worry about.
