Aviation Navigation Arrows

Aviation Navigation Arrows 125 concrete arrows all on one page for easy viewing with links to more photos, gps co ordinates, and information about each site. some sites have drone photos of the arrow. we also have metal arrow locations and destroyed arrow locations. With concrete arrows indicating the direction to the next beacon, a rotating light tower, and a shed that usually held a generator and fuel tanks, these beacons were once situated every 10 miles on air routes across the united states beginning around 1923.

Aviation Navigation Arrows Scattered across the united states is a network of mysterious concrete arrows. they are often found in remote locations or areas difficult to access. The following is an incomplete list of airway beacons and arrows. the original list, compiled by roger barnes in 2003, was drawn from the ngs database of survey marks. in recent years, many other contributors have shared their knowledge and added other beacon and arrow sites to the list. Proposed by the national advisory committee for aeronautics (naca), the tas was a series of beacons on concrete arrow platforms to form a sequential lighted airway stretching from the east coast to the west coast. In the days before high tech navigation systems, pilots flying across the country had slightly simpler tools to point them in the right direction: a network of beacons and giant concrete arrows.

Long before gps, radar, or even reliable cockpit instruments, america’s first airmail pilots followed something far more primitive—but brilliantly effective—across the landscape: giant concrete. Concrete navigational arrows, built nearly a century ago, once guided early airmail pilots across the u.s. before modern navigation technology existed. about 1,500 arrows were constructed, paired with beacon towers and sheds, forming a coast to coast visual guidance system for mail delivery. Find where the airmail pilots flew, see where concrete arrows or old beacons are located in your state. we have links to airway bulletins and air corp navigation maps, and sectional maps from the 1920's and 30's. All across america, thousands of unusual concrete arrows are hidden high upon hills, in deep woodlands and arid deserts. they are the last remains of a vast network that once guides planes across america in the early days of aviation.
