Default Don't land on the green runway.


Wouldn't international orange be more to the point?

PBIA constructed a huge new taxiway right next to their small GA runway.
Airport management expresses continual surprise when airplanes land on the
taxiway after mistaking it for the GA runway. After trying several other fixes,
they are now painting much of the taxiway green as camouflage to approaching
aircraft. Unless you are OK with a 30-day license suspension, keep in mind that
there are no sod runways at KPBI!
