Looks to me like the windsock is in the background.


Yeah, as I looked at it again, I started to think that might be the case.
Perhaps a helicopter company at that end of the runway.

Still funny, though. Put up a windsock so the landing pilots can get a
last quick look at the wind conditions? g


Why the grin? The wind sock is put up there for exactly that reason. One
last look at the winds before touch down. Pilots of 747s need this
information just as bad as pilots of J-3 cubs.
