Few miles west of the Golden Gate Bridge
=================================================
VENICE, LOUISIANA
Venice Louisiana is located about 90 miles SSE of New Orleans.
Three oil platforms located in the Gulf of Mexico due south of Venice at South Pass 60.
1. PHI Venice has a VOR/DME at 110.6. Fly SSE from New Orleans and intercept the VOR. It should be about a 30 minute flight.
2. Oil Platforms in Gulf. Fly due south of PHI Venice, or intercept the river just east of Venice and follow it to it's mouth. When you get to the mouth of the river, fly south and you should see the platforms within 2 minutes. I suggest you fly south from PHI the first time.
================================================
GRAND ISLE, LOUISIANA
Grand Isle Louisiana is south of New Orleans Intl (KMSY) by about 30 minutes on the Gulf of Mexico, and west of Venice Louisiana. Fly due south and look for NDB 395. Grand Isle has been both a recreational location as well as a major hub for the oil industry.
There are a couple of oil platforms offshore due south of Grand Isle about 20 miles out.
There is also an oil rig fire inland north of Grand Isle.
WNW of Grand Isle is the PHI base in Leeville, La. similar to what it looked like in the mid 70's. It has an NDB on 391 Hz.
Further west is Lafayette La. Just off the property of Lafayette Regional is the fictional heliport of "HeliServices" win an NDB of 390 Hz.
When the last installment was released, I omitted the Chevron boat dock in Venice. It is south of venice with an NDB of 392 Hz.
