The weather was beautiful this weekend and I had a chance to fly 906MD on both mornings. Among other things, I had a chance to practice VOR radial intercepts. Recently FAA has decommissioned the Manteca VOR but nearby Linden and Modesto are intact and functional.

The sectional chart shows the following snippets for the two VORs in the San Francisco airspace. The aircraft is equipped with Garmin 430 GPS and I tuned to them to show how the morse code identifier sounds. The morse code helps to confirm that the right station is tuned before relying on it for navigation.
