I was going by the info on the beacon that you posted. I had read it quite a
while ago. I was unaware of the Montana beacons. I do recall catching a
right seat ride with a National Guard pilot in a C-45. We started in El
Paso, TX and flew to Kansas City. He let me fly while he pointed out which
lights to fly to. Of course, when we reached K.C. I got to line up the
landing, Me with my SEL and about 50 hours total time. I thought I had it
made until about a mile from the runway, he tapped me on the shoulder and
said "I have the airplane". At least I had the dream that I was going to get
the landing. This was in 1957.
