Flying was still in its intrepid, barnstorming days in the mid-1920s when the U.S. Department of Commerce began establishing airways, prescribed routes in the sky, to promote air commerce. How did pilots navigate their way cross-country in planes—some of them left over from World War I— that had only rudimentary instruments? Often by peering down from the cockpit to look for the big concrete arrows pointing the way. It may have been either a slightly crazy or brilliantly simple scheme, or both. More than a thousand concrete arrows were installed along the federal airway system, says Phil Edwards, a technical information specialist at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum Library. Up to 70 feet long and painted yellow or other highly visible colors, arrows were placed 10 to 15 miles apart and at night were illuminated by beacons. Pilots flying at low altitudes, typically under 3,000 feet, could see from one to the next. Metal arrows also were installed on some routes—but by the 1940s, the system was largely superseded by radio aids to navigation. Today history buffs have preserved or restored a few beacon sites, including one in Cibola County in western New Mexico. Many abandoned arrows are overgrown or crumbling. But dozens—like the one shown here—survive, especially in remote areas along the transcontinental airway that ran from New York to San Francisco. They remain to befuddle hikers and others who stumble upon them, mysterious remnants of a more romantic era of flight. —Reed Karaim Pointing the Way St. George, Utah U.S. federal air routes, Nov. 1931 Transcontinental Other Before pilots had radio navigation aids to guide them along U.S. air routes, they found their way by looking for the beacons and the concrete and metal arrows that marked many of the routes

PHOTOS: JOEL SARTORE Photos of the gray-banded king snake (Lampropeltis alterna) were shot at Texas’ Fort Worth Zoo. A genteel disquisition on love and lust in the animal kingdom Basic Instincts Drawing his chin along her skin. Coiling his body about hers. Jerking his head seductively, biting her, and vibrating his tail. In the Kama Sutra of snake sex, these are prime mating moves among colubroids, the world’s largest family grouping of snakes with some 2,500 species. To see how snake courtship evolved, herpetologist and paleontologist Phil Senter studied data on 76 snakes of the Colubroidea and Boi dae groups. From research that included studies of fossil records dating to the Cretaceous period, he found that some colubroid comeons are ancient—chin-rubbing, jerking—while the “coital bite” and “tail quiver” began later. In all, he says, it’s “quite the set of dance moves.” The snake-atop-snake courtship position called mounting is “nearly universal” in the species studied, Senter wrote in the journal PLOS ONE. However, he noted with clinical delicacy, mounting is not required for “intromission,” aka copulation. To mate, snakes need only to align the base of their tails at the cloaca, an opening serving both reproductive and excretory systems. The male extends his hemipenes, the two-pronged sex organ stored in his tail, and with each half deposits sperm into the female’s cloaca. The sex act can last for hours, Senter says—commonly, longer than the courtship. —Patricia Edmonds Snakes’ Charming Moves RANGE Mexico, southwestern U.S. CONSERVATION STATUS Least concern OTHER FACTS Gray-banded king snake s (seen here) as well as rat, corn, and garter snakes belong to the superfamily Colubroidea.
