Title: Air socks
Post by: thpbears on October 21, 2014, 02:37:47 PM
I have noticed air socks at Yuma yard as well as Frisco yard. There is no place to land a helo here so does anyone know what they are used for ?

We use them at the PAL as wind indicators in the case of a haz mat spill that includes downwind evacuations.

KITRR is correct. Most places(including non RRs) have air socks for Hazmat Releases... not helicopter landings. DE Dan
