Ah Chucks,

You descibe the place so well - brings me back years.

I remember climbing out of Enugu late one night, heading back to Lagos. Ahead of us, coming over the ridge towards us we see the lights of another aircraft.? Shouldn't be anyone else around here at this time.

Next thing, on Benin Frequency pipes up: "This is WT001 inbound for ILS training".

Controller asks him to repeat.

"WT001, inbound to you for ILS training, estimating your field in five minutes."

The controller replied "That is Negative. I have been here since early this morning and I am now going home."

With that, the VOR went off the air!

Class.
