You should know exactly where you are, even though there are no landmarks.

Right.

There's nothing you can use to say, oh, OK, I know where we are now.

Now, there are occasionally, obviously, you'll see islands that are familiar.

But really, the whole point of this is you've got to figure out where you are based solely on navigation.

And this is really important if you're doing something like fighting a war in the Pacific, right?

Because you've got to take off from an aircraft carrier, fly out to a battle, do the battle, turn around and somehow find the aircraft carrier again, which is not easy to find an aircraft carrier in the middle of an ocean.

And so that's why this is so important.

The navigation aspect of this flight is the most important thing.

And they've got little boards they can use to do this.

Every flight has three people on it.

The pilots doing some navigation got a radio man, got a gunner.

I mean, there are ways to figure this out.

And that's what they're doing.

So the whole point of this, the reason they're flying this triangle is to practice dead reckoning.

So that's what they're doing.

And we've already basically flown due east.

By the time they turn north, they've flown for about an hour.

So you got that first 20 minutes to do another 40 minutes east, turn north, head up to your second location, which is going to be around Grand Bahama, then turn again to whatever the compass heading was to get back to Fort Lauderdale, and you should arrive.

And the way you sort of test yourself is when you cross the Florida coast, how far are you from where you're supposed to be?
