Yep, Martin State it is. We were approaching the DC airspace and I picked up a pop-up IFR to get around all the airspace up there. I flew corporate before going to the airlines, but never snuck into MTN. Man, they nestle that ‘port right in all those buildings and lights REAL good like!

One of the older INS units was the Delco Carousel and with those you could only program in eight waypoints at a time. Which wasn’t a big deal in the US flying over the Atlantic, but once you hit European Airspace it was a virtual finger orgy with the keyboard getting poked and prodded in every direction! Sometimes those airways would have 20 intersections in a 30 mile span, and when doing .80 Mach, they go by fast!

More pics pics n the journey home next month.

Happy Thanksgiving you’s guys!!!

Cheers
Dave
