Glen wind makes people crabby.
The Navy has a runway in El Centro and this time of year the wind can be a steady 30 knots down the runway.
The approach end of the runway has a painted and lighted carrier deck and Fresnel lens landing system with an LSO giving trend calls as Navy pilots practice touch and goes on the simulated carrier deck.
Those were good memories of windy spring days as a Navy air traffic controller in my 20s with F4s, F14s, A6s or S3s in the pattern practicing carrier night landings.
Later as an ACLS controller on the USS Ranger.
Happy memorial day to all the Vets.
