Saw in the mainstreeem media a story about a Delta widebody landing on the taxiway instead of the more conventional runway at Atlanta Hartsfield. They quoted the FAA as saying that it had never happened before, which I figured was unlikely, so I went over to PPRUNE to see what they were saying:
http://www.pprune.org/rumours-news/3930 ... xiway.html . Of course, it has happened before... and more than once at some airports. Interestingly, the pilots there were not coming down on the Delta crew as being idiots, but instead were largely sympathetic. Lots of "me too" stories... including some about planes landing at the wrong airport. Yes, even in the GPS era.
