We picked up our radial (352 FROM SYI, i think), and headed for MQY.


The trip back was pretty cool. I opted to fly the VOR all the way into
SYI,


I'm surprised to see that primary students are still flying VOR
radials. I thought that had gone the way of ADFs and light beacons,


I was flying to Reno last week and there was a GPS outage part of the way
there. I had a couple guys with me and they just looked at me when the MX20
and the 296 went blank. I just tuned in to the next VOR and kept going 10
minutes later they came back.

but I guess not.

Great story -- thanks for sharing it!
