Two vanes? What if they're pointed at each other?


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

The wind is capricious, for sure.

That's one reason I think it should be a regulation that airports only have
one windsock.

Taxi away from the ramp glancing at the nearby windsock. Taxi toward the far
end of the airport for the runway that should be preferred. Get to the end
and glance at another windsock pointing in the other direction. Taxi back to
the other end of the runway nearer the first windsock. The two windsocks are
basically point at each other. I'm glad there was no ATIS!

Not much else to do but tighten the seatbelts and use the crosswind runway.
