Flair vs flare

I "built" (was first CO of) the USCG loran station at Gesashi on the north end of the island 1963-64, and belonged to the Kadena Flying Club. Lived with the Marines (Camp Schwab) while the station was under construction. That would have been LORAN A....right? :-) We were blessed with coupled INS/DOPPLER, quite a change from the LORAN A sets that we had in the P-2s. Bob |

It was a loran C station. In 1959-60 I had done the same thing on St. Paul
Island in the Pribilofs...that one was a combined loran A/C station. Bob "Bob Moore" wrote in message . 121...

When I was in the communications division at USCG HQ in 1957-58, we handled
tons of messages about loran-C installations from Europe and the Middle East. I remember Wheelus AFB in Libya specifically, but there were lots of others.

The worst is "few" when actually "a few" is intended. Nothing turns the
