See this old DC-3 dance in a gusty wind. The historically significant plane is mounted on a pedestal outside the Yukon Transportation Museum in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada.

I lucked into another excellent gusty-wind day that shows off the abilities of the wind vane.

Starting in 1977, the Yukon Flying Club restored this northern veteran to its Canadian Pacific Airlines colours for permanent display at the Whitehorse airport. The restoration took four years, but in 1981, she was raised onto the pedestal built by master welder Al Jacobs. Pivoting on its mount, C-47 / DC-3 Dakota CF-CPY always points into the wind, just as she would have while lined up on the runway for takeoff. Due to the fine balance point, it only takes a 5 knot wind to turn her.
