However, once we were airborne, we could shoot approaches back home (NKT,
Cherry Point) regardless of the weather, because they had GCA. I can't
recall if there were any GCA mins, or not; but I can recall shooting some
interesting approaches.


GCA PAR mins were 200-1/2; 100-1/4 at the boat if you were "special" and
dual-piloted...


Mea Culpa; I think I cheated on those mins more than once.

Come to think of it, I recall shooting what we then called ADF
approaches (now called NDB approaches) to 200 - 1/4.

Years later, I began to think I must have "misremembered" that, but then
I read Bob Buck's _Weather Flying_, in which he confirms that ADF mins
were 200 - 1/4 in those days.
