Ok.... shot a few pics of the DC-3 control surfaces, a P&W R-2800, a
P&W PT-6, a Stinson L-5, a BirdMan, our B727-100, an OX-5, and an
Allison 250.... I'll figure out how to display them, tomorrow.

Cool, can't wait! And you was right on the money, I emailed the
reporter and here was his reply:
Curtis, you've got the idea. When the crosswinds are strong,
controllers tell me the downwind leg is flown farther out, then the
final is slower because they're also into the wind. While the flight
path is only a matter of minutes (or fractions) longer, when you add
up all those flights for three runways, the large numbers really add
up to a delay. Of course, when the wind dies down, things get back to
normal.
