Another "war" story. Had a navigator on my crew who had been selected to attend pilot training. He decided he wanted an FAA Navigator's license so he set up a check ride with an FAA Navigator from Hickam to Barksdale. The FAA guy was in the Reserves so it was no problem to get him on the flight. There was an oral exam the night before the flight that invloved all kinds of celestial "stuff" and navigator stuff. Next morning we all met at Hickam Ops and the Fed wants my name, rank, and ssan as well as everbody elses. Bells start to go off. What have we done? We flew the SID out to 300 miles and he hasn't even looked at the nav. Nav hits the west coast 2 miles and 30 seconds off. Great job. Then we get a complete reroute, dodge thunderstorms across New Mexico and Texas and hand fly (it was considered unmanly to use the autopilot) to ILS minimums at Barksdale. I asked the Fed how we did; he said good and I was never so relieved in my life. Nav had his Commercial Navigators License for bar talk at UPT.
