Since two people have said it, you realize it MUST be true. Both presenters are clearly US Citizens! Now it has the official stamp of official truth!
Then you are in a regrettable bad position at that altitude , don?t do it again and immediately : Fixed Square search . I by the way did not say that mr. N reduced from an instant sunset observation : article says in title : "Frederick Noonan Precompted a Running Sunset Fix . ." , although , to offend you , if he saw a more or less clear sky red sun & horizon , you never know . I agree that having Nukumanu in sight , 27 miles or less , he could safely communicate his precomputed position fix , but not without having the precomputed coordinates at hand .
