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.

Over at Palm Springs (PSP) they have the word T A X I W A Y painted
vertically in very, very large yellow letters on the taxiway that is between
the two runways.
