kiteflying
Windy day pastime
Kiteflying is the activity of flying a kite, typically as recreation.
In British English, it also refers to the practice of floating an idea or proposal to test public reaction before committing to it: The minister's comments were dismissed as mere kiteflying.
This figurative sense draws on the image of sending something up to see how the wind takes it.
