Our corporate shuttle from OLM to HIO (Beech 1900) made an interesting departure from OLM. Took off on rwy 17 and instead of intercepting the Victor airway south from the OLM VOR (176 radial) he turned left, kept climbing and turned left again until he headed right back over the VOR, then turned on course. I suspect he filed KOLM to KHIO with the routing being OLM, V-xxx and then on. Just had this discussion with my CFII during Saturday afternoon's ground lesson. Makes lost comm easier. But, this is the first time they've done this, at least while I've been on board. Didn't have time to talk to the pilot about it after we landed at HIO. Interesting timing. We're going to to the same thing next Monday, but we'll be heading north to PWT. Nice to see something I've been taught in use.
