Our New York City 30th Street heliport has tall buildings on one side and the Hudson River on the other, creating very unpredictable and often extreme wind conditions. To ensure the safety of our pilots and passengers, we installed a BDS Internally Lighted Windsock System over 15 years ago. The lighted windsock reliably rotates 360 degrees and its bright orange, non-glaring glow is highly visible, providing dependable and accurate wind indication. The superior quality of BDS products and excellent customer service are why we depend on BDS Systems for all our windsock needs
