Didn't know that you guys verify your position visually
with cues from lakes, buildings, light patterns... no kidding?

Just one little addendum; coming back from Block Island there was this
bright line of lights which I couldn't identify. It looked like the top
of a skyscraper, if that skyscraper were a mile wide. It could have
been a road, but it was lit up far too brightly and would be a very
short road. It was visible for half a hundred miles.

I figured it was probably the mercury lighting from a large industrial
building. But as we got closer, I realized it was Oxford Airport (OXC).
The lights in question were probably the lights for the parking area
in front of the FBO. Now I've filed that little tidbit away. It makes
OXC much easier to find at night! (assuming those lights are on, which
one can't count on).

The guy coming in for the first time won't know this. He'll be looking
for the green and white airport beacon. He'll find it, but not from
fifty miles away.
