Compass rose airmark

The Hiller Aviation Museum painted a modern-day airmark near the museum in California. This marking, called a Compass Rose, has the navigational ordinals, dividing the circle into 12 parts at 30-degree intervals. The cardinal points (large marks) are at magnetic North, South, East and West with ordinal indicators at the remaining points.
