Today's weathervane was photographed at the Madrid Air Museum in Spain.
The Madrid Air Museum, also known as the Museum of Aeronautics and Astronautics, is near Madrid at the Cuatro Vientos Air Base. The museum was founded in 1975, and inaugurated in 1981. There are over 200 aircraft on display with 7 hangars.
My husband went to visit this museum with his cousin and took a photo of the weathervane atop one of the hangars. It is an unusual two dimensional weathervane of two military aircraft in silhouette. There are no cardinal points on the weathervane. It is a very tiny weathervane, and difficult to see from the ground.
