Alternate Airport Winds

Alternate airports

These are the primary Atlantic alternates. The purpose is to get a quick summary of the runways and approaches in the context of the wind.

This data is manually entered and subject to error. Consider these to be like my personal notes with a dynamic element.
If you find an error, e-mail me at thejohnbell@gmail.com.
I would like to see this combined with the weather and available for every airport. However, this would require a database and is well beyond my capabilities.
I would like to see this information integrated with the weather information. I add this data for these airports and combined them with NOAA weather at https://johnbellweatherreport.azurewebsites.net/WeatherReport.aspx. Note I have only added this information this is only in the "raw" format.
