Here's an interesting poser.....
I often fly local flights for training and usually note the route including navaids, in particular if the training flight was for VOR, NDB, GPS, or other sorts of training involving such navaid points. So, for example, I may have an entry such as SUS-FTZ-SUS noted with only 1 leg for the flight. In RouteBrowser this flags FTZ as an unknown airport, which is true, as it is Foristell VOR. I tried entering the Lat-Long co-ordinates for FTZ to see if it would take it, but it doesn't seem to want to save the data. Any ideas? Will navaids be added to RouteBrowser sometime soon so true routes can be shown and not just airports stopped at?
Also... I have a number of old logbook entries going to an airport designated as MO50, which has since been re-assigned to a hospital heliport. I honestly don't recall what this airport name was (this was back in 1986 when I flew these), and it doesn't show up on any lookup functions provided in RouteBrowser. Any ideas on where such an old FAA ID could be looked up? Anyone ever been there that can remember what that airport was, and what it's Lat-Long should be?? I know it has to be in Missouri, just don't know where. There have been a number of airport closures in the state since then too, so it could be one of those, complicating such matters.
Thanks for the assist in advance!
