Michigan (UP) KSAW winds ??
I'm planning a trip to the Upper Peninsula in about a month, so I've
begun looking at charts. We'll be landing at Marquette, Escanaba, Menominee, and Houghton. Or that's the plan anyway. Marquette/Sawyer KSAW has one runway, 2 1/2 miles long x 150' pointed 1/19. Now the collective wisdom of airport designers in this part of the country is that, if you have only one runway, you do it like 14/32 or 12/34. But I have to believe that whoever committed to 2 1/2 miles of concrete -- out in the woods where he could have pointed it wherever he wanted -- must have looked at prevailing winds. So are the winds different because of the lake? I don't particularly want to divert from there just because my little PA-28 can't handle a crosswind, although there are several easy places to go.
