November 11, 1990 a Faucett B727-247 on a westbound ferry flight across the Atlantic (KEF-YQX) with 22 airline employes aboard was forced to ditch due to fuel starvation. If there were any survivors, none was found. Only pieces of a floating life raft and a few life vests were found. The airplane was not equipped with Omega nor with INS and the "dead reckoning" pilots making the distress call obviously could not be certain of their position.
