Yep, there was a United late 80's/early90's, who when invited to partake of the CC procedure, expressed dismay with a comment along the lines of "Gee, is that a beacon approach?"
He asked how long the IGS was off for, which was only around 20-30 mins, so he said he'd hold until the IGS was back up.
Sensible man.
