Shooting my nighttime NDB approach right after I saved a bunch of kittens from a burning building. Ignore the fact that it is daytime, there are no kittens, and I'm at 5,000'.

Is this something only Colmbo would understand?

Makes me wonder if the pentagon plane from 9/11 wasn't using DF from the helipad navaids.

As opposed to being able to see DC from 100 miles away, pushing Direct To DCA (which for all intents and purposes may as well be the Pentagon) in the airplanes FMS and being able to see the building itself from at least 50 miles away on a clear September morning?
They wouldn't need any help finding it.

That would be the clearest day of all time in DC.
I found DC to be 5 miles visibility with low overcast about 250 days a year for the 15 years I flew and lived there and rarely saw high visibility that I see about 300 days a year here in florida.

Dude that day was extremely crystal clear in the Northeast US. The problem for me with days like this now is---it makes me think of that day. :frown:

Well that's what the weather was.
On days like that from a mere 10,000' you can see NYC, Philly, Baltimore and Washington DC in the same view on the west arrival into Philly.
Having flown into DCA for only a year you can see it from 100 miles out when it's that clear. There was no haze on September 11th and every account you'll hear from pilots flying that day was how remarkably crystal clear it was.
