Default 757 lands on EWR taxiway by mistake

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?

| Must've been cleared for the visual to 11. I remember my
instructor and

about knowing the

system, runway,

during my
| instrument oral exam he quized me about pretty much every
aspect of the
| lighting system. Haven't forgotten it to this day.
