To my knowledge, Lex had no needles. They certainly weren't there on my
initial night qual in the F-8.

What's an 'ILS'...needles were for Nancys.....


True...

They never worked on Lex for my initial A-6 qual...

The Combat Buckeye and TraCom Scooters didn't have them, either.

Yes it was indeed. IIRC, due to minor variations in design, O-boat offered
the most hook-to-ramp of the three ... a whopping 10.2 feet on a 4 degree
glideslope.
