olderndirt Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Amber and Blue - North and South. Green and Red - East and West. Navaids were a Low Frequency Range - the British 'Adcock' design was used by the CAA/FAA and the NDB. This DC3 is filed SEA A1 ETHEL A1 PDX/6000/1+15 enroute. A1 (Amber 1) was the longest US airway - from PAOT to somewhere in Mexico. Way back then KSEA had intersecting runways and no Alaska hangar - Mt Rainier was pretty much the same. There'd have been no Space Needle and a lot fewer buildings. Below #1 is American Lake - my go to spot for float ops. Interstate 5 runs a bit straighter than the old US99. St Helens would still have her hat. A lot less at KPDX and fewer lights overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I joined the FAA, working McGrath Flight Service Station, one of our responsibilities was the ability to orient a lost pilot using his audio of our LFR - assuming he had at least an LF receiver. Usually very effective if the aircraft had enough gas . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
