Narrative:
Not sure how else to report this hazard to aircraft; and would hate to see an aircraft get destroyed or lives lost. Several new large electric wind generators have been built east/southeast of vernon; tx/wilbarger county airport F05. Many of them have lights on the top; but several do not. That would seem to pose a risk to general aviation aircraft flying at night. The towers are several hundred feet tall and without beacons on them are extremely hard to spot at night.
