Gypsy Pilot Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I was online trying to locate Sectionals from the late 50's and early 60's and learned they are only available as antiques and are priced as such. I slowly dawned on me that if the charts that I used to use are antiques then I must be one too. Dale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you are not yet referred to as "extinct", you need not worry. Not too much, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Touche, Rodger - IRL, I'm about to start on kidney dialysis - an "interesting" development, but it's better than the alternative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macca22au Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Jaje: I hope the dialysis goes well. I agree with Rodger, it is no joke. But although Australia never had the elaborate US sectionals, the publications have changed greatly, rendering them and us antiques if we are looking for the old versions. I flew for a year in the States and never quite adjusted to the detail on the sectionals...preferred the instrument charts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsy Pilot Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 Sometimes I feel like a time traveler, flying west against an ever increasing headwind, as my parts keep failing and falling off, as I make my last flight towards the sunset. I no longer have my co-pilot so I occasionally curse loneliness and the headwinds, but then I remember that I am really in no hurry to get to where I am headed for I know without a doubt, that she will be waiting at the hangar door for my arrival, regardless of how long this final leg takes.

MGC Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Dale, on my first cross country nav back in the early '60s, I showed my sectional chart all wrapped in plastic, to my instructor. "Nice." he said before throwing it in the back seat and pulling out a road map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
