DAL 767 lands taxiway M at ATL

[JoeMerchant]

Yes, in fact it was utilized as the runway a few years back while the runway was being redone.

WRONG....M was never utilized as a runway....

Whoops.. could have sworn I remembered that one being the one used. Which was?

I didn't exactly frequent ATL during that time period.

"R" was used. South of 27L. Only cargo and NW maint hangar were southe of it back then (before rwy 10-28). I may be wrong, but I believe it was only used as a runway for turboprop A/C and not RJ or bigger.

Thanks! That one is quite a bit shorter. Someone earlier stated that 767 and smaller were allowed- that's at least second hand info, though. Take it for what it's worth coming from me.

I know I landed on it in an RJ!

As long as you're not parked on that taxiway......No Problem!

Give 'em a break.. things are better now.. they landed at the right airport.

June 20, 1980 - A Delta Air Lines 727, bound for Tampa, Florida, mistakenly landed at MacDill Air Force Base (a few miles away).

Atleast they landed in the right city, didn't a Northwest or Continental Crew land in the wrong country some years ago?

Might have been both. NWA was going to FRA and ended up in BRU around 20 years ago.

Actually, it was about 15 years ago.
