“Once watched a (Saudi, I believe) 747 line up to land on a runway of the decommissioned Floyd Bennett NAS instead of a runway at JFK.”

Just looked at the relative locations of each. That’s scary, to say the least.

Instead of heading North further inland, making a slow right, going a bit over the markers and making a hard right onto the NW to SE runway at JFK, he made a hard right too soon (no markers) and lined up on the SW to NE runway at FBNAS.

The zig-zag correction back to the approach path must have been interesting for the passengers also.
