You've obviously never seen an Aeroflot flight before. :)
When they first started flying into KSEA in the early 90's, there was a
big flap about one pilot preparing a picture perfect approach. To I-5.
Fortunately, he either noticed or was notified in time find the OTHER big
concrete bit he needed to land on.
I once witnessed an Aeroflot jet on approach to KSEA that had an
alignment problem actually horse the jet into a 45 degree bank, haul it
about a quarter mile to the west to get on the right approach. Freaked me
out on the ground just watching it. I don't want to think about what
those poor passengers were going through. :)
There's an old joke that goes something like this:
Aeroflot Pilot: "My, these American runways are VERY short!"
CoPilot: "Yes, but look how incredibly WIDE they are!"
