I am NOT superstitious

Our club's Lance has a Loran in it that as far as I know, only one person

that it couldn't lock on "if somebody flew the plane without turning it
on". Yeah, I laughed when I read that too.

Don't laugh. He's only missing one step in there. If you turn the LORAN off,
fly the plane more than a few miles, and turn it back on again at a different
location, it won't lock in. All it would take is for somebody to take the plane,
fly a bit, notice the LORAN is on and turn it off, then return to base. My
Foster unit has been known to do this after having been moved as little as
twenty miles, but it usually takes more than that.
