I flew in the one that this was copied from, several times. This was when Lin Wright owned it in the 70's. https://www.theledger.com/story/news/2007/04/19/1941-tiger-moth-gets-new-life-as-replica/25775370007/ The below picture has Lin and Martha in the foreground and my parents in the middle...

A few months ago, I ran across an airplane that had to be IMC and not talking to center, they had their transponder and ADSB reporting the N#. We were at 8,000 and skimming the top of the overcast and saw them on ADSB climbing out of 5,500. Later Center called about traffic climbing out of 6,500...

Should have called the day before they closed and get the agent's name.

Our old system tracked 6 DME and 2 VOR stations. I cannot remember how many we needed to get an accurate position, but I think it was more than 2.

VLF/Omega and Loran are both gone. Loran did not cost that much to keep broadcasting and was pretty accurate. By now everyone has removed the receivers, I know we did.

Back in the 80's or 90's a friend had a PT6 gearbox failure on a KA200 going into KDAL. Only one I have heard of.
