2002, IIRC...

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

There wasn't any other planes on the taxiway, nor anyone standing on it...
That's why I thought that it could have been one of the runways...


Yep. I think I remember you. g

There is a guy or two standing up on a little tower, looking out for things like
that, and will tell his flagmen things, when he needs to. The likely radio call
would be, " hey everyone, heads up. It looks like someone coming in is lining
up on papa! Keep your heads on a swivel!" One of those guys sometimes
participates in discussions, here.

There are always at _least_ three flagmen, no - four, counting whoever is way
down on the south part, with the vintage aircraft. More than likely there were
more like six (or more) flagmen, but they stand mostly off the taxiway, at the
intersections of that westerly taxiway (papa) and the next little crumbled
taxiway, (the ditch) that only goes from a little south of show center and
towards the north. You probably couldn't see them, because they don't stand way
out on the taxiway.

The routine is, that after landing, the traffic flow goes north on the ditch,
and south on papa.

Anyway, at least you didn't land. People have landed on Papa, and also taken
off, too! I can't figure out how that one happens!
