Many years ago, a C130 was landing at Patterson, LA.
Patterson has a concrete strip and a water filled
canal/lane, very close together. The concrete runway has
white edge lighting with green and red bars, the water has
green edge lighting and white bars. KPTN

Want to guess which runway the C130 landed on?
