Air Facts

MAY 7, 2025

The longest runways had front course and back course ILS (Instrument Landing Systems) and an on-field VOR that provided navigation and approach capabilities for aircraft on instrument flights. In the 70s, enroute navigation was usually on VOR Airways (Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Radio). The Tower had no radar.

OCTOBER 10, 2023

Just north of the Selinsgrove VOR, Harrisburg called with the first change in routing. I gave my tail number and destination. "Oh, From Williamsport, the Susquehanna River follows a ridgeline westbound to Lock Haven, former home of the Piper Aircraft Company. Cherokee Four Eight One is cleared direct Baltimore, then direct destination."
