Default 757 lands on EWR taxiway by mistake

It's entirely possible. I did it (more than once actually) while training for
my Private certificate.

Lined up perfectly for what I was certain was RWY 4R when in fact it was a
taxiway. Fortunately, I discovered my error in plenty of time to slide over a
bit.


It happens at OSH about once a year, on 18/36, but they land on Papa, and do not
catch it in time, and actually land.
