Circular (or at least 360-degree) airfields were common at one time.
You put a stake in the center with a windsock on top. The aircraft
landing simply landed into the wind, wherever it was coming from.


Lindbergh Field in San Diego was the same in the early days.


All early airfields were built that way.
