Reminds me of a story about a Shorts Belfast (I think)that landed in Anchorage a few years back.
The crew taxied in and disembarked the aircraft.A few days later they returned to the aircraft to find the rudder damaged.On enquiring with ATC what
had happened and that they had parked into wind according to the windsock,the reply recieved was

"Oh you don't take any notice of the windsock,it's been frozen solid for months!!"


Cheers
