Geographical Features

Whilst flying in the Philippines into a strip with HT lines close to the departure end on the active, my passenger commented on the proximity of the "hypertension lines".

At another shortish field, often shrouded in haze, we talk of acquiring the "mangolizer" - a prominent mango tree and definite aid to navigation.

Any takers?

Best,
