I remember back in the round dial days getting bass ackward on the back course departure off of runway 13 at Kai Tak. Maybe the HSI was still set up from the checkerboard approach and we spun it around or something. Or was there a switch to flip? Somehow I had reverse sensing on the localizer.
As I started to drift toward some highrises the tower controller gave me a gentle cue to 'please say heading'.
Back in those days, what happened in the Pac Rim stayed in the Pac Rim and the plane didn't phone home.
