Didn't a B2 have a similar problem?
Even though the B2 destined to display at Farnborough was given details of the Odiham TACAN about 7nm SW of Farnborough, we still had to give it radar vectors to find us.
The autofocus on my camera and that of others standing near me had great difficulty locking on to it!
Some years earlier, the B1 pilot saw Blackbushe and could not be convinced he was heading for the wrong airfield!. This was most surprising as both pilots were Rockwell TPs who had practiced their display run a few weeks earlier using F111s borrowed from Upper Heyford.
