There was no NOTAM in any of my briefings, center gave me an amended

Only the local controllers told seem to know the navaid did not exist.
This one gets a NASA Form 277.


It was probably way past computer Notam status. Most likely in the
printed version.
Did you check the updates in your IAPs?

It's even there in a DUAT briefing I just pulled down:

******** NOTAMs ********
!MIA 11/102 PHK HIWAS OTS
!MIA 11/015 PHK VORTAC OTS


I'm late in joining this thread, but on an Angel Flight a year or so ago, I
was happily moving along my IFR flight plan following airways when IND
approach told my the Hoosier VOR was OTS. I was never told that during my
briefing. 3 seconds after an "uhh... stand by" on my part, IND offered
vector direct to my next VOR. Duh. D - next waypoint & we're off. Actually
shaved a few minutes off, anyway.
It did kind of surprise me, though.
