It happens at OSH about once a year, on 18/36, but they land on Papa, and do

It happened to me on my first trip to OSH... I was in the flare and the
controllers informed me that I was not over 18R, but rather over the
taxiway... A quick side slip and I saved it and landed on 18R...


What year?

You should hear the radio chatter light up when someone does that. The flagmen
"really" get nervous, and looking for a place to run! g
