First of all, I was responding to someone's hypothetical scenario over the USA. But, since you brought it up, wasn't it reported that the Legacy pilots spotted the air force base at which they landed visually? Whether or not that's true it doesn't matter. VFR is just a set of rules to help you see and avoid IFR traffic, it says nothing about how you navigate to your intended point of landing.
