  9. Was out flying friday morning doing stalls and force landing revision. And when finish headed back to the Airfield to join up and land. winds where in favor of 14 and as we joined cross wind for that runway a aircraft siad that they where taking off from 32 ? then a chopper called who was hovering at the end of 14 to say that the winds favored 14 and we where calling the aircraft and 32 and he was just sitting there. I don't know if he had his radio down or he just was not listening to us Whiles where going around in circles.
