My old club was set up very well with a lot of though and wind testing before the first bucket of asphalt was ever put down. As the seasons change though the wind will reverse. One day we were having a fun fly event and I was surprised to find out how many pilots were so into the habit of taking off and landing in only one direction they couldn't take off when the wind was blowing in the WRONG DIRECTION!!! I walked several of these [pilots??] across the runway to the other side and into the other pilot stands and they were now able to fly, well, take off and land. It surprised me a lot to see how many people got into the one direction habit!! I caught myself doing it too and forced myself out of the habit, I was flying too many different fields in club fly in's and they were all different lay outs.
