I hope they can read map coordinates and terrain features better than the S**thook crew from the 11th AVN we dealt with on REFORGER once.
It was an all female crew - 2 female pilots and 2 female crew chiefs. We were playing the role of Spetznaz and had a blindfolded and hog-tied two star from V (US) Corps which we'd kidnapped from a forward TOC near Bad Hersfeld, and were being extracted at daylight to bring him back to Camp Worden and the "People's Pond" for questioning. V Corps security elements were hot on our tails and we could see the s**thook flying circles looking for us across the moutain range over in the wrong valley. We were enforcing radio silence and - finally - the CH47 gave up and came flying near enough to us on their way back to their airfield that we nearly hit 'em in the nose with a couple of star clusters to gain their attention before they saw our panels and came for us. 
And so it goes...
