A Tribute to the Navigator

These flights have been dedicated to the Navigator, who played an important role in helping to get the Airliner from A to B in the early days until he was replaced by the advances in technology with the likes of, Long Range Aid to Navigation (LORAN), Inertial Navigation (INS) and GPS, until becoming as extinct as the "Dodo" in the air, but is still in Maritime use today.

The timeframe is September, 1945 and DC3 Airways will provide the crew to fly the DC3/R4D, with "The Admiral" and other high ranking Officials as passengers, from Ford Island, Hawaii to Henderson Field, Guadalcanal.

Remember, the admiral's seat is on the left side of the plane and he gets headaches above 8,000 ft.
