[Milsurplus] Cluster Beacon

I never heard "Cluster".  Weren't they
called "Buncher Beacons"?   The trick was
to assign one magnetic track for all aircraft
to approach the beacon,  after passing the
beacon the aircraft  made a 180 and continued
with a Standard Proccdure Turn which brought
them back in to the beacon on the same assigned
track.  By assigning different altitudes, and keeping
their heads up,  they managed to get the formation
together.    What do they do here in 2007?
