The map with the times has a plot at Pearson..regardless to any plots you still need to turn at Pearsons field if you are flying and following the map. V23 is in line with Pearson..

So you’re sure there is a plot at Pearson even though there isn’t one on the yellow map?

I'm not sure of anything. I'm pointing out that the map with the green lines and times have an entry at 8:17 close to Pearsons field. either they missed the plot on the radial or modified the location switching two points.

They cut the radial turn out. a cross is there but they placed it at Pearsons and bypassed the radial turn making that the 8:18 time with the next cross..kind of what you are trying to do..

It doesn't appear to be tampered with. it appears they made a correction or failed to see the red cross in the turn/curve/radius.

It wasn't done in the 70's by looking at the way it is presented..

Who ever put the green lines and times on the map also marked the bad radar return area's marked with red pins..

You mean the three to the west of Portland?

Each plot has a blue dot..up in the area from Toledo to the Lewis you will see red dots..8:05 all the way to 8:11

R99, can you explain this. all I know is it's about the radar contacts..

If you're referring to the Sluggo map, the green dots (or red dots, I'm color blind) are the location of the jet at a specific time. The blue dots are an estimate of the location of the jet at a specific time.

That would be due to bad radar contacts..

Well you know my feelings about this map. I can't explain much about it--the three +'s NE of Portland, estimated times, missing dot at 20:04, circuitous path, etc..

appears to be 4 dots (crosses) possibly. look at the last red cross and go down to the left where the road leads to Hillsboro. I need to look at a better map...high rez.

If it's the mark on the far right end of the Hillsboro road over the bright yellow portion of the map, then indeed there may be another + at that point. Difficult to tell.
