If you frequent the low country, you're likely familiar with the red and white stripped landmark in Hilton Head, SC. Besides being a great photo backdrop, the light house serves a dual purpose as an airborne VOR checkpoint for the Savannah Airport. Just dial 115.95 into your navigation radio and fly over the lighthouse on an azimuth of 097 degrees from the VOR. If your Course Deviation Indicator reads + or - 6 degrees, you're good to go!
