That's only three townships or less, which is nothing for jet fighters. Our local news says the collision was north of Fairbanks, but our sense of direction is as poor of our sense of time since the sun is either missing most of the day or goes around and around hardly ever setting.
When I lived there, I had some trouble with that is well. I figured out during January, the sun would come up and set over a mountain peak beyond Salcha. Once I had that peak targeted, I could figure rough direction.
