Code:
They looked at their nav screens and were directly over MSP.
 Because they had their screens set on the max, 320 kt setting, when the
 f/o called on the frequency, which of course was Winnipeg Center, he 
saw Eau Claire and Duluth on his screen. They asked where they were and 
the f/o told them over Eau Claire, which was not even close, but MSP had 
disappeared from the screen even though they were right over the city.
"

Isn't there a fact gap in this? Does the radar track not show them more than 100 miles past MSP when the call was made asking to turn around?
