For those who don't believe in clicking links, Harrison Ford landed a Husky on a taxiway on Monday after overflying a 737 on said taxiway.  Whoops.

That looks embarrassing.

[quote]At least eight times since December 1999, experienced pilots from five airlines have mistaken Taxiway Tango for Runway 16R.

When Roger Seher flew a 37-seat [b]Air Canada[/b] Jazz turboprop into Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in January 2004, he was aware of the “Taxiway Tango” problem.

He’d flown into Sea-Tac many times and knew pilots arriving from the north sometimes confused the western landing strip, Runway 16 Right, with the nearby taxiway, called T or Tango. He also knew Sea-Tac had placed a 25-foot-by-25-foot “X” at the end of the taxiway to prevent potentially catastrophic landings there.

So after touching down that morning, as he later reported, Seher and his co-pilot were startled to hear from the control tower: “You have landed on taxiway.”[/quote]

Its California, he landed on the alt-left runway.

Chewy can't even take a day to hit the beach.
