Colour coded?

I heard that navaids etc were colour coded to tell oilots what they were permitted to use. IE no navaid use permitted on VFR flights so you do not wear them out.

Life is stranger than fiction.

Richo, mid/towards the end of around 2004 the SE mail run got re-shuffled a bit and from memory was run in a clockwise direction from the way it had for many years. Ringwood became the first stop and Maryvale the last.

Judging by morno's sandy pic, he's flying the new(er) direction of 993.

Flintstone.... Raahjer wouldn't do that.....

Bushy, that is just plain out there.

Thanks for that OPSN, during my time we did a lot of things backward?.

The TNT run was obviously a day time flight.

20nm North of TOMAS not too long ago. Nothing better than smashing around inside embedded cells. Good thing we don't have radar - I'm sure we wouldn't fly if we could see inside these .
