Are you posting things twice these days for any particular reason? Or just to REALLY make your point?

Would you agree that the runway on an aircraft carrier is a bit easier to turn into the wind at a given point in time than the runways at the Buffalo Airport?   If so, would you also agree that the control tower probably does not ask the pilots to go somewhere else when the wind is blowing directly North, South, East or West?  What would Orville have done?

As to Seminole...perhaps more than any other course I can think of, the individual holes change in character, strategy and difficulty based on the strength and direction of the wind. I think the primary reason for that is the repelling nature of the green surfaces.

That's the precise reason why the runway had to be oriented into the prevailing wind when it was constructed.

Have you ever seen a runway NOT oriented into a prevailing wind ?

If so, would you also agree that the control tower probably does not ask the pilots to go somewhere else when the wind is blowing directly North, South, East or West? 

Control Tower ?
Do you think they had modern control towers in 1926 ?
Have you ever heard of a "wind sock" ?
Wind socks were the early control tower.
When a second runway was added, it's angle differed from the primary runway, thus, allowing for winds other than the prevailing wind.

I hope your kids pay better attention in school than you did.

What would Orville have done ?

He did what he knew best, he made delicious popcorn.
Haven't you ever heard of Orville Redenbacher's popcorn ?
Wake up the kids and have them tell you about it.
