The original "I don't know it all" of aviation.
My dad was a USAF IP in T38's about this time period... So fun for me to see what he experienced.

This is also a good video on the basics of an HSI.

Sucks that we no longer are able to terrorize students with the TACAN fix-to-fix.
 
The worst aircraft to give a PAR to. They show up still doing 200 + kts, student can barely talk because they’re 5 miles behind the plane, IP keys over the students incorrect read backs, snake the whole way down on final, low approach and pick up the IFR on go. I can only imagine how soaked with sweat the student is when they land back at Columbus.:(
