Human Factors
Several months ago I noticed that the windsocks near A4 and A7 were extremely near the taxiway centerline.  At the time; I called the ASE Airport Operations and was told that the socks are 80' from the taxiway centerline.    We were in ASE again with a GIV with a 77' wingspan.  I pulled off the centerline away from the socks to ensure clearance.    There is NO way those socks are 80' from the taxiway centerline; runway centerline maybe.  With my wingspan; we did miss the socks; but care should be taken on larger aircraft (GV; G650; etc).  Please have the airport Manager verify the distance from the taxiway to the windsocks and maybe provide a note on the airport diagram as to the actual distance.
G-IV Captain believes the windsocks are too close to the taxiway centerline at ASE for his 77 foot wingspan aircraft to pass without deviating.
