Driving All Night

About the only thing I personally know about Lincoln, Nebraska is a Dennys off Interstate 80. In my moderately delinquent youth, I helped a friend who couldnt afford a move from Connecticut to Colorado by renting a truck for local use one Thursday afternoon, disconnecting the odometer, round tripping across two time zones, and reconnecting it in time to log 30 miles before returning the truck Monday morning.

Key Takeaways:

The ILS/LOC Rwy 18 into Lincoln, NE features a rare and uniquely charted teardrop course reversal, which is unusually long and often bypassed by pilots requesting an early turn from ATC.
Certain stepdown fixes on this approach, such as ROROC, specifically require dual navigation receivers or GPS for identification, highlighting its navigational complexity.
The approach's extensive notes include crucial details like an RVR reduction to 1800 feet, authorized for commercial operators utilizing a flight director, autopilot, or HUD to Decision Altitude.

About the only thing I personally know about Lincoln, Nebraska is a Denny’s off Interstate 80. In my moderately delinquent youth, I helped a friend who couldn’t afford a move from Connecticut to Colorado by renting a truck for local use one Thursday afternoon, disconnecting the odometer, round tripping across two time zones, and reconnecting it in time to log 30 miles before returning the truck Monday morning.

This also meant we had no idea how fast we were going, but I get a kick out of flying partial panel. I didn’t share either of those facts with the Pennsylvania State Trooper.
