It's nice to see more flight navigators on here. Here are some of my prior posts:

I was in the same squadron as John, from 1962 to 1967. We did not have the Polhemus but was issued a CP-300/U (2102-D). As I recall we did not have very good instuctions for its use so I did not use it. I can't tell you if any of our navs used it.
