A few decades ago when propeller driven airplanes were still the mode of commercial nights, the wind factor was a critical consideration, especially on a long flight across water. A prop-driven commercial passenger plane flying say from San Francisco to Honolulu had to take into serious consideration both the speed and direction of the wind, since a strong head wind could seriously strain its fuel supply. Sometimes these winds were inaccurately predicted, or changed for the worse during night. On some rare occasions, this wind factor was so serious that the pilot decided that he could not reach his destination and had better turn back before it was too late. To be sure, this presented an unenviable predicament to be in, to say the least.
