They should have taken a left turn at Albuquerque.

Just fly around the town water tower and read the name off of it. Then find that name on the map. That always worked for me.

According to the statement, cited by the local media, the exercise was a “success.”

Had a similar experience at Ft. McCoy, WS. My unit had established a site just down slope from a sandy hilltop. All but that hilltop was heavily wooded. It was nearly dusk, when a Huey landed on that hilltop. It was not one of the choppers organic to our ASA unit. Our MP's swarmed him, including a jeep with mounted M-60.

After a short interrogation by one of our CI warrants it was determined the pilot was lost, and didn't want to call his unit for help. He claimed that we'd camouflaged so well that he knew there had to be a unit there. One of the warrants took a map up the hill to show the pilot where he was, and sent him on his way.

His comment about over camouflaging was brought up in our after mission report.

Easy to see why they got lost, like a white-out. They still should have GLONASS and GPS unless the rules said they could not use that.

My wife said that if I were piloting that craft, never would I stop to ask for directions. She’s probably right. I hate to ask for directions.

That’s what happens when you don’t keep your Garmin data base up to date.
