I do have to admit that on one training flight in actual to Pontiac (PTK) as I was coming down the glide slope fighting a 90 degree cross wind that seemed to counter every correction the tower did come on and ask if I planned on landing on the taxiway, or was I going to use the runway. I replied I was kinda hoping for the big one on the left with all the marks painted on it if the wind would cooperate. When we broke out pretty close to DH I was very close to being lined up. I had to be with as sensitive as those needles get that low. :-)) OTOH that is more than a bit different than trying to see an airplane 100 feet left or right of centerline from the cab. snip Go ahead.
