Lear 35 lands on taxiway at KTUS

The FAA should do something so pilots can distinguish the runway from the taxiway. That should stop pilots from landing on the taxiway.
Maybe they could put a number on the runway and not put one on the taxiway?
Also, what if they put a solid yellow line down the center of the taxiway and dashed white lines down the center of the runway?
For night/low visibility they could use one color along the runway edges, and a different color along the taxiway edges.
Until they implement something like this, pilots won't be able to differentiate between the runway and the taxiway.

This is why they make you pee in a cup after moments like this. But seriously, what must of been going on in there for this to happen at night, presuming a professional crew...

Fatigue, no ILS up for the runway being used, non-standard runway markings, poorly written NOTAM's for non-standard markings?

It is 2017.

Why am I presented with a wall of text that says--
Code: 
KBFE RWY 29L-11R MKGS NOT STD [date-time groups]
...
when the one that I'm really looking for is something like:
Code: 
KBFE RWY 29L-11R WIP TORA (blah) TODA (blah) LDA (blah)

Pictures may, in fact, be worth a thousand words.

the problem is we have too many taxiways in this country. To stop this we need to ban all taxiways in the interest of safety. Taxiways are dangerous...





:sarcasm: just in case it wasn't obvious....

Forgot about that runway, since so rarely used. Growing up I used to love rwy 21 arrivals and departures. NEVER seen a rwy 3 departure. But always wanted to.

And what do you know? Just last night....runway 3 airliner departures, climbing out low right over the base runway. Didn't see a RW 3 landing though of an airliner yet.
 
When Harrison Ford does this in his little single engine it blows up on nationwide news, calling for the FAA to start revoking certificates. When a twin engine corporate jet does it, it makes local news and the Facebook keyboard warriors have no clue about it.

Probably because they're so focused on the safety record of the ICON crashes due to pilot error. Calling out the FAA to ban the ICON aircraft. :aghast:

I'm Nick Jonas Jealous. I would have loved to see that DP in person. Was it an immediate left hand turn to stay clear of KDMA traffic?

I've seen a rwy 3 landing, yawn. You're not missing much.
