The last few flights I’ve been planning and flying are rough recreations of early US Air Mail routes that utilized the ground arrow and beacon system for navigation. I don’t have many old aircraft so I’m using the Stearman to fly.
Between a book I own and an online database map showing the locations of the arrows and beacon lights, I’ve put together some flight plans and flown strictly VFR to each leg of the route. Today was Chicago, IL to St Paul, MN.
