    VOR Approaches gone ?

    I just noticed on ForeFlight that all our local VOR approaches are gone. Is this all over the country ? The VOR approach into my home base, KHBI, used the GSO VOR and DME which is still up and running as part of the GSO ILS. As a side note: the NDB approach at KRUQ is still in service.
