There was one in the Arctic that actually was a disguised key for the Fortress of Solitude. You had to be pretty strong to pick it up and use it.

And pilots landed without navigation computers, glide slope indications, ILS beacons, and other aides. If they were too low the computer didn’t blare the message “warning terrain, pull up...” over and over.

Visible from 10 miles up . . . but they disappear when you get to 52,801 feet.

The “Shanghai Beacon” tower still stands on Third Hill Mountain in Berkeley Co, WV. I don’t remember seeing a concrete arrow next to it ... I’ll have to look next time I’m out that way.

I remember the new fangled Omni beacons that my girl friend told me about on my first long VFR flight assisting her in 1968. We had no radio, only a compass for Wichita to New Jersey so we couldn’t utilize them.

Wow! I wasn’t expecting to find my little hometown here in Indiana on that map. I’ll have to make a trip to the airport and check it out.

There were also things called blue and red airways. For night flying there were those colored beacons and you flew from one to another.

They also used to paint the name of the towns on warehouse roofs. Saved my butt one day.

There are the remains of two arrows within a few miles of where I am sitting. Easy lunch runs with a 4X4.

Before GPS getting lost under VFR was all part of the fun. Now it is thought of as an in flight emergency.
