Airway Beacon, Jones Point, NY

I found an old historical topo map of Jones Point, NY. Dunderberg Mt. The map indicates an old AirWay Beacon at the top of Dunderberg Mt. I have hiked the Ramapo-Dunderberg Trail here. I have also found the old airplane wreck in the area. Where can I find additional information regarding this Navigational Airway Beacon.

NGS, Holti, Harry, Scooter,

 

Thanks for your support with this benchmark / Airway Beacon.

 

I found the data sheet provided. It is amazing that it is just located just feet from trail and no one has ever posted, commmented and or found remains. I am sure there is something there such as rust markings.

 

Thanks for your help.

Montana still has a few of the airway light beacons in operation. I have the L/L's for them that were provided by the Montana Aeronautics Bureau and would send them off list. They may or may not be at the same location as some of the PID's.

 

I used the ones from Missoula to Helena on several dark and stormy nights. Mike
