I'm not a pilot, but know a couple. Noticed they were landing with the wind yesterday. Just curious if anyone knew why they weren't landing at the Sandy point end and taking off from that end? Did the wind shift when I got there? The flag on the Gazebo was flying straight along the runway when I was there, that was about 3:30ish give or take.
I was just curious.
