Default Dizziness disorientation

Well, no, Bertie. We landed at Burke Lakefront one winter, wind was
stong enough to weathervane the Mooney on a snowpacked taxiway.

I'm not a guru, but I have experienced weathervaning when flying

prevailing wind current.


Airplanes do not weathervane when they are off the ground in a steady wind..
