And the terminal beacon on a light range is still there for you to see, on a tower near a runway. Brian W

Well...it was properly called "radio range" and my Navy Advanced Training Instrument check ride in the S-2F Tracker included a radio-range orientation followed by a radio-range approach to the Alice, TX (ALI) airport. This was followed by a radio-range missed approach with one engine feathered. Then a single-engine mdf (manual direction finding) approach...yes, using the loop mode and manually rotating it to find the null. This was all way back in 1959. Not only do I use computers, I built my first one from a hand full of parts back in the MITS Altair days, probably before you were born, 1975 as I recall. Bob Moore
