Yep, Loran was the first "great leap forward". The plane I learned
to fly in had a Flybuddy Loran, and it was always a comfort knowing it

But it was still nothing but a fancy "pointer". Moving map GPS
changed everything about situational awareness, IMHO.


The same could theoretically be done with LORAN.
