Default Bad Day at the office?

That's hard to say unless you've been at the end of 19 in a spam can.
It doesn't take much brush to make it impossible to see the end of
another runway.


It's easy to say if you've examined high resolution imagery of the airport.

The geometry also makes it look like the plane on 24
would be slightly behind the plane on 19 as they approached the
intersection.


To an SR22 at the hold short line for runway 19 on taxiway bravo a P180
departing full length on runway 24 would be moving from a position about 45
degrees off its left nose to the right.
