I learned to use the sextant. I went out to the field. I turned my face to the South. I closed my eyes and threw a sextant. Then I looked at the angle at which he fell relative to me. It turned out 158. Right now, I'll check how accurate it is ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And suddenly on the horizon I saw this: http://i.piccy.info/i9/e6bd6b4dd6a31b0b990c35affd3a27a7/1543175267/40904/1280123/DF_11_800.jpghttp://i.piccy.info/a3/2018-11-25-19-47/i9-12795189/800x425-r/i.gif I really hope that this is Mount Everest on Ross Island.

Rupert Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Hey Stormer, You're probably giving me nightmares of a RW Connie trip from Alameda to Honolulu! Though it wasn't a MATS Connie. It was an airline, whose name I can't recall at the moment, who chartered it for shipping Marines to Honolulu to continue on to Vietnam on a MATS bird. Not only were we heading over to get shot. But it was also taking us what seemed like half our life to make that one leg of the trip!! :( They even used two flight crews because it took so long!! Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
