Do I fly?! Don't be a wise ass...why do you think they call it
"weathervaning"? What does a weathervane do? It turns the "weathervane"
into the relative wind. An airplane is a weathervane too and the wind can
and does turn an airplane into the relative wind. Definition:
"weathervaning".

The tail does not know what direction the wind is blowing if the airplane

is in
the air. So therefore it DOES NOT push the nose into the wind.
Do You fly?



It's from the wind striking the vertical stabilizer and pushing the nose
into the wind.
