Do you make a habit of using Airplane-Pictures.net for your systems information?

Unless there was something wrong with the aircraft other than a lack of fuel, they had the #1 VHF Nav and the #1 DBI. They also had standby airspeed and altitude. They had everything they needed in order to know where they were, where the aerodrome was, and where the ILS was.

deefer dog, I'm not saying I could've landed on the runway, just dispelling the notion that they had no nav.
