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.

The tires are worn.  The shocks are shot.  The steering is wobbly.  But the engine still runs fine.

There was me thinking it was just VORs and NDBs in the early days. Thanks Noel! :cool:

The Milviz Cessna T-50 Bobcat includes a period receiver for an accurate simulation of a four-course radio range system. It's a lot of fun navigating the old-school way. :gaul:
