It seems there may be more than 1of them! I've recently (last year or so) seen a dial at an airport. I don't remember if it was in Atlanta, Georgia, Orlando, Florida, or Geneva, Switzerland. I'm a pilot and I can assure you it was a sundial and not a VOR or VORTAC - ( which could easily look like a sundial, especially when it has an orange or red wind sock being filled by a slight breeze ). I remember when I spotted the dial I thought - geez, that's an odd looking VOR - so I looked closer. It was a sundial! I wish I could remember for sure where I saw it. It was before I joined this list. Chuck O'Connell
