There is a Monerai serving as a wind indicator at Stenbach North
airport in Manitoba Canada. *Not sure of the exact lats and longs, but
you should be able to find it on Google Earth.


Mike,

Do you have any further information about this wind indicator? I'm
interested in pictures taken from the ground so I could see details of
