Flight Navigator certificate. Still possible?

[sstearns2]

In the late 70s some of the IN's at Mather got FAA Navigator certificates. I think the FAA rode on regular USAF nav training flights to give the checkrides.

I wonder why there is no conversion of a military nav rating.

I do recall that the last U.S. civilian airline navigator was on Flying Tiger, which phased out Navs in 1974.

What was tigers flying that needed a nav in 1974? The connies got parked in the 60s. The CL-44 maybe?

They were only flying 747's and DC8's in the 1970's according to http://www.flyingtigerline.org/ they got rid of the CL-44's in 1969.
