Airway beacons

[+rogbarn]

Hi all you old friends and new. I was active in this forum when benchmark hunting was fairly new but haven’t been here in quite a while. I got a query from someone who found my chart of airway beacons out on the internet. Remember when we had a long discussion about them, trying to understand what they were? He is doing some research on airway beacons in the Columbia River basin and wanted to know if I could help find some locations that were not in my chart. So, I’m in here asking if anyone here remembers any of the resources that might be available to help him track down what he’s looking for.

Hey, Rogbarn, good to see your smilin' face here again!

I do recall the airway beacon searches. People had to use various spellings to catch them all. I will have to see what I can grep out.

 

Is this for Washington State only?

The spot he is particularly interested in is on the Washington side at about the 55 mile marker. I think this is about 5 miles (very roughly) downstream (west) of Hood River, OR. I did download all current datasheets from the NGS, so I have that. I was wondering if nonpublished datasheets are still available? Or whatever else you think of.

Thanks. I guess I should change my avatar sometime.

Jeppesen maps? Those would certainly have all the active beacons.
