Default 757 lands on EWR taxiway by mistake

I prefer narrower runways for light aircraft. It's easier to judge the
flare height. Others?


You should try landing at Streator, Il The runway there is 18' wide
paving with very nicely manicured grass perfectly level with the
pavement making the runway about 50' wide. So landing is smooth even
when your nosewheel is the only wheel on pavement. But the view coming
in is really weird. You think you are still very high when it's time
to flare.
