I'll put my two boobs worth in here, but my information is extremely dated.<br>
When I was gliding back in the 80's, we used to fly from a private airstrip. There was no windsock<br>
erected.<br>
When I asked about this, I was told that a windsock implied a public airstrip so could be used by<br>
anyone. No windsock, no one else could use the strip (unless in an emergency).<br>
That said, it could be an old wives' tale just to shut the "young'un" up.<br>
