This is Adams County Airport (Legion Field), flat terrain ~968 ft MSL near Friendship/Adams, WI — NOT a directional ridge/mountain launch. The orientation hint listing all 8 octants (N through NW) confirms an omnidirectional flatland TOW / WINCH / powered-paraglider (PPG) operation. Compass AirSports lists Adams, WI as one of its paragliding/tow flying locations, and the area is used by Wisconsin PPG pilots. Because launches are towed (or motor-driven PPG) into whatever wind exists, wind DIRECTION is essentially unrestricted — pilots tow into the wind regardless of azimuth (ideal and marginal arcs both 0-359). The real limits are wind SPEED and turbulence: light, smooth conditions are best for tow/PPG. Ideal ~3-10 mph; usable up to ~12-15 mph; avoid gusty conditions (gust spread > a few mph) since flatland thermal turbulence and gust fronts — not lee-side rotor — are the main hazard. Best flown early morning or evening glass-off when winds are light and smooth. No USHPA chapter or club site guide with explicit foot-launch wind-window numbers was found; values here are inferred from the tow/PPG nature of the site and general flatland-towing guidance, hence low confidence. Verify current conditions, access, and ratings directly with Compass AirSports or local Wisconsin PPG/tow groups before flying.
