Ron,

That is a frighteningly common occurrence. We call those runways 18
Left, 18 Right, and 18 Wrong (Papa).


Chuckle Yep, I've not been out there when one landed, but almost. He
sidestepped at the last moment, when ATC yelled at him. I was monitoring
tower in one ear.

I was on Papa when someone took off from it, one year! I stood there and
saw it and told someone else, "watch out, it looks like he is getting ready
to take off!" and sure enough, he did!
