Narrative:
There are a series of poorly lit; (some unlit) windmills directly to the east of the private airstrip 15MO. They are currently not marked on VFR sectionals. This creates a potential conflict to aircraft descending into the traffic pattern from the east. This is a much frequented private airfield; and I believe the lack of lighting on these towers could create a fatal accident; especially at night.
