AA62,
I'm certainly no SF Waller, being a humble GE, but I know that the introduction of the SCINS (Special Configuration Inertial Nav System) which was a blend of Satellite and Inertial Nav systems introduced in the run up to GW1, did a grand job of putting us on strip thresholds, at night on NVG. Obviously, some skill was required from both the two winged master race, and the wizard of Oz to the right hand side. I experienced many infils and exfils, in, from my point of view, the pitch dark. Very impressive. I doubt I have given any classified info away here, after all, that was around 25 years ago, things have moved on. Like you, I would love to hear from the people who successfully operated it, and later developments, where legal.
