Was the aircraft actually doing the 14 VOR/DME or circling?
I can't see how you can line up on anything other than the RWY if you stay on the 14 VOR/DME. I have done this approach many times, and at the minima - approx 500ft AGL the RWY is only at a slight angle offset.
However if your circling at MK at night in marginal WX - then thats a different story. Dont try it, go for the VOR/DME.
