Mediterranean Story: #1 (1951)
Inter-titles written by Arthur and Kate Tode (as seen in the film)
Mediterranean Story
Sea of the Ancients
Maps and movies upon the wall
Do not mean a thing at all
To those who see but charted spaces
Separating lands and races.
But movies to Circum's who've traveled far
From homeland heath to alien star,
Flash back a thousand starried gleams
Of deserts, jungles, peaks and streams.
For never a Circum's heart but flames
To see in movies enchanting names;
To us who've circled land and sea,
Such pictures are wings of wizardry!

Dear friends and followers, today I´ll be answering a recently asked question, what is a windsock and how does it work.
A windsock is a conical shape textile tube (which resembles a giant sock, hence its name) designed to indicate wind direction and relative wind speed.
It is normally placed next to the runway or a helipad, so that pilots can clearly see it after lining up on the runway or coming in for landing. It´s also indicated on most airport ground charts with this little symbol.
During night operation it is well lit either from the ground or lamps installed within the sock.
It´s general purpose is to give pilots a quick reference as to where the wind is coming from and the approximate speed. Before accelerating for take-off you take a quick glance at it, so you can give the necessary rudder inputs whilst rolling down the runway.
To determine the wind direction you look at your compass, check your heading, and then estimate the pointing angle of the windsock relative to your heading.
The wind direction is the opposite of the direction in which the windsock is pointing. Which means, if we had a wind blowing from the west at 270 degrees and 10 knots, the windsock would point towards heading east, cause of the direction it is blowing in. I´ll show you this in a example.
But why does the sock have red and white rings ?
They are there to measure the wind velocity. Each ring indicates 5 knots of wind. So as we look at this video here, we have one,two rings fully blown up, and the last three are slightly tilted downwards, so that sums up to 2 rings times 5 knots, respectively windspeed of 10 knots. But at the same time you can see that the sock sometimes is fully blown up and flapping about, so you could expect some gusts as well. In the background I can see the runway, knowing it´s heading of 260 degrees I assume that the sock is pretty parallel to it, so guess the wind direction will be approximately 260 degrees. So let´s take a look at the ATIS read out. So not to bad what we´ve estimated, 260 degrees 10knots and gust, and if you compare that to the ATIS read out we got there fairly close. Again, a windsock is only for a quick reference, if you want a proper wind information you would have to listen to the ATIS or ask tower control.
So you can see, they are fairly easy to interpret and a great help to get a quick wind information. They are easy to install and cheap to maintain. It is required by flight regulations that even the smallest airport has at least one visible windsock.
I hope you enjoyed this video and I´ve answered another aviation related question for you. So give me a thumbs up, subscribe my channel, and if you have further questions don´t hesitate to comment below.
Thanks for watching and see you next time
Your captain Joe
Look out for the wind sock the next your sitting in your passengers seat. You will most probably see them as we taxi towards the runway.

Castles In Spain (1932)
Location is Cambria Castle, Williamsville, New York, United States of America.
Introductory intertitle reads: To few of us is given the chance of making our dreams come true, but Mr Ignatz Oechner of New York, who dreamed of a lovely castle, has built this with his own hands
C/U of Mr Ignatz who stands in front of a pile of gravel and speaks to camera - no integral sound on this version. Panning shot of the grand castle he has built which stands in large grounds featuring a lake and a fountain. It is a kind of folly with beautiful gardens and unusual features such as large glass globes on pedestals - C/U of one of the globes which resembles a fortune teller's crystal ball.
Fourteen years ago, Mr Oechner found this island and started his great task of showing what a man can do with grit and determination - and a beautiful home he has made of it. Moving shot of the castle - presumably taken from a boat on the lake. Boat passes by some ducks then under an archway.
It is all rather wonderful!
Note: alternative spelling of the owner's name is Ignatz Oechsner.

KLM Pan Am Tenerife Accident (1977)

An updated FAA animation of the Tenerife accident.
KLM Flight 4805, Boeing 747-206B, PH-BUF, ground collision with Pan American Flight 1736, Boeing 747-121, N735PA
Location: Tenerife, Canary Islands (Spain)
Date: March 27, 1977
Both aircraft - KLM Flight 4805, a Boeing 747-206B, Reg. No. PH-BUF; and Pan American (Pan Am) Flight 1736, a Boeing 747-121, Reg. No. N736PA, - had been diverted to Los Rodeos Airport on the Spanish island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands due to a bombing at the airport at their final destination, the neighboring island of Gran Canaria. Later, when flights to Gran Canaria resumed, the aircraft collided on the runway in Tenerife as the KLM Boeing 747 initiated a takeoff while the Pan Am aircraft was using the runway to taxi. The Spanish investigative authority, Subsecretaria de Aviacion Civil, found that the fundamental cause of the accident was the KLM captain: 1. Took off without clearance; 2. Did not obey the stand by for take off direction from the tower; 3. Did not interrupt take off on learning that the Pan Am aircraft was still on the runway; and 4. In reply to the KLM flight engineer's query as to whether the Pan Am aircraft had already left the runway, the KLM captain replied emphatically in the affirmative. The investigation also believed that the KLM captain's decision to take off may have been influenced by revised crew duty time limitations recently enacted by the Dutch government. The restrictions were inflexible and highly penalizing to the captain, if exceeded. With a total of 583 fatalities, the crash remains the deadliest accident in aviation history. All 248 passengers and crew aboard the KLM flight were killed. There were also 335 fatalities and 61 survivors on the Pan Am flight.
