Spooky, well son if you look you will see I have flown aircraft that were before my time in the 89th. And yes we would monitor the HF and find aircraft going to our destination...ie, Hickam, Guam, Lajes etc and we would use their contrails to verify what the Nav thought his position was. I had a nav that flew out of Grissom for yrs that always used 0degrees variation when planning nav legs and when he made his first Atlantic crossing he was heading well off course. The reason was we had an ave variation of 20 degress. So contrails were always a good backup. Now stay out of these adult forums and go back to how to become a CFI or VFR pilot
