My First approach after OE was to minimums on an NDB to minimums. As a High Mins CA the ILS had higher mins than the NDB. Can't remember why but I do remember breaking out perfectly at the last second and shocked beyond belief that the math worked out. When off high mins I never had to repeat that and eventually those dropped of the Certificate.

Of course I understood he was referring to the Super G Connie. (You can tell it is the Super due to the fuel tanks on the wing tips). Remember being on them in my youth. Longitude is when you run into Ireland on your trip out of Gander.

Classical line pulling in to MKC. Fill it with oil and check the gas.
