Narrative:
On approach to cak we were on a 250 degree heading for runway 23 without the airport in sight. We were starting to pick up the ILS (so it seemed) and were looking for the airport. When the controller informed us we were on the wrong heading the airport was at our 3 O'clock. We looked over and saw the field and made a VFR pattern. The controller said we had taken another aircraft's turn. With no VOR/NDB/DME on cak it is really difficult to figure where you are in relation to the field.

Narrative: ON APCH TO CAK WE WERE ON A 250 DEG HDG FOR RWY 23 WITHOUT THE ARPT IN SIGHT. WE WERE STARTING TO PICK UP THE ILS (SO IT SEEMED) AND WERE LOOKING FOR THE ARPT. WHEN THE CTLR INFORMED US WE WERE ON THE WRONG HDG THE ARPT WAS AT OUR 3 O'CLOCK. WE LOOKED OVER AND SAW THE FIELD AND MADE A VFR PATTERN. THE CTLR SAID WE HAD TAKEN ANOTHER ACFT'S TURN. WITH NO VOR/NDB/DME ON CAK IT IS REALLY DIFFICULT TO FIGURE WHERE YOU ARE IN RELATION TO THE FIELD.
