Default Unique Aviation Xmas Gift

Actually, even though they're three stories up, and separated by only
30 feet, I've already seen them briefly point at each other.


Wind swirling around building does some strange things. That is why they build
scale models of cities and put them in a wind tunnel, with a new proposed
skyscraper, to study the reactions.


True. And the sign is a good distance away from our two buildings --
and the wind was out of the north when I saw them face one another,
which is the most unobstructed direction.

Since the sign is maybe 300 yards from the numbers on Rwy 25, the vanes
graphically illustrate why learning the art of landing takes so long...
