construction cranes helpful?

Hi guys

Iīve noticed that the modern cranes at construction sites position themselves into wind when it is strong enough. However, eventhough Iīve asked the workers and contracters, nobody seems to know for sure the exact figures, i.e., how strong the wind has to be in order for the crane to move, and if they always point with the same end into wind, or do they just line up with the wind, making it a tail or head wind, depending the position they happen to be when the wind starts picking up.

I wondered if any of you have "mastered" the use of this cranes to asses the surface wind in any of your missions, and whether they could be another clue about where the f**k is our friend Eolo coming from (or is he going to?).

Why wind reminds me of women?. Is not as HE doesnīt change his mind when we fancies, nor that he can take us further and higher when he is in the mood for it, or make us crash when heīs having a bad day (and you didnīt ask him why the long face....). And obviously we canīt live with him but neither we can without.

I canīt wait for your answers

Fly safe!
