ARA's
During my time on the C130 with 36 Squadron RAAF we had a number of USAF exchange Pilots and Navigators and we sometimes practised Airborne Radar Approaches to the RAAF Richmond runway 10/28, in VMC. In my time there we had no precision approach with only a Tacan and NDB permanently available. Early in the piece we used to sometimes conduct a UDF approach from overhead. The USAF C141's used to, I am sure, use the ARA in fog down to minima. The roadway between Clarendon and Richmond paralleled the runway and the local "watering hole", Ma's Pub, just about had the roof taken off by a C141 when very late in the approach the crew realized that they had mistakenly lined up on the roadway and not the runway. Not long after that a series of radar reflectors were put in place. Never ever made an ARA in anger though. The clip reminded me of our first trips to McMurdo in '78, a year prior to the Air New Zealand DC10 loss at Mt Erebus. Thanks kokpit.
