Still, maybe it's a non-issue, since we don't seem to hear of lots of
collisions around VORs. Seems like mid-airs are mostly around
airports. Anyone know the real stats of locations offhand?

I don't know the stats, but I lost a friend in this exact scenario about a
year ago. His plane (homebuilt Lancair) overtook a C-172 with an IFR
student and instructor near a VOR. All were killed. I've avoided
overflying VORs since then.

I just wanted to say I'm sorry to hear about your friend, Neil.

I have a buddy who makes a point of looking for and directly
overflying VORs. He just likes looking at them. His habit has always
creeped me out a little, because if he's not the only doing it...
