DAL 767 lands taxiway M at ATL

Maybe they tried to give them 28 and that was their "F you"

Captain's Authority. "We're landing on Mike for an expedited taxi to the ramp."

Was he color blind? Blue vs. White lights?

Glad to hear no one was hurt and no metal was bent.

ASAP reports are handy in these situations.

I've heard of a similar incident but I can't quite place it....................

I've come close to doing this with the sun in my eyes. Neither one of us caught it until about 800agl. We were initiating the go around when tower called.

It was completely humiliating and something I thought only idiots did. (please keep the bashing to a minimum )

The reason I say this is............ don't throw stones. I NEVER thought I'd pull a dumbass move like that and I damn near did.

Why not label taxiways as taxiways from an aerial perspective so this doesn't happen again? It's easy to mark a runway 9L in white. Why not label a parallel taxiway as T A X I in yellow? Either that or put a big X just short of where it begins...

Here is a whole pageful of wrong landings! Just remember, when you're pointing your finger at someone, there are 3 more pointing back at you!

That's what we need-more X's all over the place. It will remind all the gummers of their eX- wives and all HEL% will break loose.
