    727 Long Range Navigation Question

    Hello,

    How do 727’s navigate between the west coast and Hawaii and between Hawaii and mid-pacific islands or to destination with no VORs or radio beacons enroute. Most 727’s have no INS or FMC’s, so how do the pilots navigate?
    Thanks for your help.

    The beehive hummm of the JT9D and GE CF680C2,the thunder of the JT8D-17,the rumble of the PW1830 and the high ,thin whine of the PW 545A are all music to my ears!
