Douglas Corrigan knew perfectly well where he was going, and he got
there by navigating.

(For those of a younger generation, Corrigan was refused permission to
fly from New York to Ireland, so he declared that instead he was
flying to Los Angeles, and behold! He landed in Ireland by mistake. He
even wrote a book about it. Life was much more innocent in those
days.)
