Northstar Loran repair/replacement/KLN90B

Heck, there was not just one but TWO NDBs on the approach I did into Castlegar last weekend. Bob being Canadian, I *know* he knows what NDBs are, probably uses them so much he is trying to forget...

My airplane lived in Canada for a while before I bought it, which is how, I suspect, it came to have a two needle RMI.

Nowdays, I use the ADF for...ahem...primary navigation during an ADF approach, and the Garmin 295 purely for...ahem...situational awareness.

'Course in the Bahamas where Bob lives, they navigate purely by the smell of rum drinks on warm breezes. And use the 295 for situational awareness.

When I made my first out of sight of land overwater flight (to Grand Cayman) I had both VORS, the ADF, the GPS and the Loran all pointing at Georgetown, as well as four Mk1 eyeballs (all serviceable but worn). Now THAT'S situational awareness.
