In the early 1970s, on flights in/out of Kwajalein, then busy with Sprint anti-ballistic missile trials, using large radar arrays perfectly capable of tracking launches from the US West Coast, I used to be tickled that there was no ATC radar and that all approaches were procedural using ADF/VOR/TACAN - I forget which.
True but how dull would life be for a Zone/Radar Controller at Kwajalein! The weather and vis around the Marshalls must be some of the best on the planet! Even the wind is more or less constant!
Why do tankers need to land to refuel, they are tankers, why not just refuel themselves?
Yeah, and why is the Central Flying School of an island nation based so near the coast that there's a lighthouse on the roof?
