  1. Very interesting you can get this close to a DVOR. I walked past the Squaw Valley VOR in California back in the 1980s while skiing and distinctly recall a large black conical antenna enclosure somewhat shaped and sized like a space capsule with clearly legible warnings saying "DANGER - R.F. HAZARD - DO NOT APPROACH WITHIN 50 FEET".

  2.  @brentboswell1294  Every Canadian air traveler knows that Toronto Pearson International Airport is YYZ just as every American air traveler knows that Denver International Airport is DEN and every English air traveler knows London Heathrow Airport is LHR. It doesn't take being in a cockpit to know the IATA airport code for your home town airport.
