WIND SOCK
Made of bright
fluorescent fire orange vinyl impregnated nylon fabric, which can
be seen for miles! The fluorescent color penetrates haze and gives
high visibility even when the sun is obscured. Stands out against
any background, summer or winter. Attaching grommets are solid brass
spur type, which won't pull out of the reinforced hem. Will withstand
75-mph winds!
When ordering,
measure across your frame to determine the diameter; not across
the flat wind sock mouth.
Airtex windsocks
are made in five sizes to meet recommended proportions for maximum
effectiveness; they are not cut-down versions to meet a price. Airtex
windsocks are in use worldwide at private, local and international
airports.

BRIDLED WIND SOCK
New type fluorescent
windsock requires no frame! All that is needed for mounting is a
¾ " water pipe mast. The sock has a built-in hoop (to
hold the mouth open) and bridle lines attached to a threaded swivel
fitting. Just screw it on to the water pipe mast and it is ready
for use! Sensitive to the slightest breeze. Ideal for new installations
at private strips, airports, heliports and marinas. The 14-in. x
4-ft. size is intended for use at runway ends on large airports,
for quick wind reference.

WIND SOCK SERVICE TIPS
Windsocks should be located away from obstructions, such as buildings
and trees, which cause turbulence that diverts the true wind direction.
Turbulence will cause oscillations, resulting in excessive flexing
of the sock fabric, shortening fabric life. The worst place for
a sock is atop the hangar. The best place for a sock is out in the
field in clean air. Service life varies from one to three years,
depending on the severity of flexing and air pollution.
