Formidable!

Are you sure they were moving the navaids? If this is correct it must be a world first, who's foreign aid budget is paying for it? I hope that its not the UK!

I cannot understand why a VOR is required, especially considering the terrain and the availability of RNAV. Must have been a very persuasive salesman!

If a ground based en-route/holding navaid is required an NDB will suffice, if necessary supplemented with a DME, one hell of a lot cheaper!
