December 13, 20178 yr A friend of mine who is a ham radio operator sent me this video explaining the four course radio range navigation system of the 40s. It was the first radio navigation system ever, I thought you guys might beinterested in seeing what flying in the old days was like. Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.
December 13, 20178 yr There was me thinking it was just VORs and NDBs in the early days. Thanks Noel!

It's a lot of fun navigating the old-school way. Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
