An old bush pilot told me they used really long wing tie downs to a
single point and left the tail untied in high winds in Alaska. This
allowed the aircraft to lift off and weathervane in high winds. The
aircraft were staked out far enough apart that they wouldn't collide
with each other. I'd be interested to know if anyone's actually
witnessed that method.

Did the old bush pilot start out by saying "now this ain't no
bull****"?
