Just for a bit of hoo-rah suppose they were Alien spacecraft or

Alien spacecraft in particular just might have the ability to
not, say, hit Mount Rainier as in ah, a form of terrain

More like a size 6 in a size 12 - lots of air.

Certainly not from me,I have flown aircraft simular to Arnold's
over the same Mountains for 20 some Odd years, along with other
types Day, Night Insturments (Including a couple of very wild
rides in the teeth of a Pacific Cold Front.)

I also learned to fly at the tail end of the era of radio
ranges and airway beacons.

Timing was important - Life and Death - this is why I believe
Arnold's timing was accurate.

(Now good navigation is when you set the Auto Pilot, set there
and drool,watching the little numbers and letters change in the
GPS until you get there.) This is central to why I think the
Pelican Theroy is so much ah, Kraut - I have Kraut on the mind
along with Barbequed Bratwurst and a fine pilsner, which I will
enjoy after work.
