It was good to see the runway open yesterday afternoon. Got to swing by on the way home and there were already about 15-20 plans and a helicopter on the ice. Not too bad for a later start in the afternoon I thought.
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.
