On the post about the flight from Sturgis to Billings, MT, Norma was not lost. Visibility was awful because of the forest fires blanketing the route with smoke. This was certainly not Norma's first cross-country to Billings or anywhere else for that matter. There is a large segment of the route that there is no VOR coverage, but when it was picked back up (the Sheridan VOR) navigation then became a piece of cake. We were off a direct course of Sturgis to Billings, but certainly matched hopscotching between VOR's going a more southerly route through Wyoming. Norma gave you a wonderful, long flight with fuel to spare. Be careful about your picking on her piloting skills. You sound very ungrateful to a hostess that flew you across several states, gave you a good bed, good food, and a washing machine to do your laundry.
