It was this combination that let me recently take on Tennant Ck to Broome direct (686 nm across the Tanami),
Only ever went out in that area once during my flying days. Tennant Creek to Kunnunurra, at night. Geeez it gets dark out there.
Nothing but the reassuring glow of NPD's exhaust pipes to keep us company. Not even a light on when the ADF swung passing Hooker Creek.
Back in the days when GPS didn't exist yet.
