I've seen Dubya's VASI lights.....they're evenly spaced cow pies touched up with some bright orange marking paint. If you can see them as big round orange circles you're too high and if you can't see them at all you're too low.
Works just fine - except I also found WAY TOO MANY other patties that were not marked with orange paint!
