What no one has mentioned in this thread is the report that the lights
for 26 were not on. That visual cue screams that you're on the wrong
runway, particularly pre-dawn. If that's indeed the case, it would
speak to negligence. I wonder what they were doing/thinking.


It wasn't pre-dawn. The preliminary NTSB data online gives the time of the
incident as 6:07 EDT. An online calculator gives the time of sunrise at
KLEX on that date as 6:04:37 AM.

I just checked with web site for the Weather Channel and it shows
sunrise at being at 7:06 today. Was your on line calculator using GMT?

My sunrise program fives 706 AM for today and Airnav.com gives 7:07
AM. Verify time zone. (UTC-4)

It doesn't request the time zone as input or provide it in the output. I
believe the only input was the date and the location. I used KLEX as the
location and it provided a time of 6:04:37 AM as the time of sunrise.

The program probably doesn't honour daylight saving time.

Apparently, and thus not particularly useful.
