Landing a large turboprop aircraft on a 3200' runway which is only about 5' wider than the wingspan of the plane, for the first time, is a feat I personally find impressive. The pilots are getting a bad rap about this, but for anyone who flies, especially under a stress full situation, I can see where a mistake could be made. With the GPS and WAAS technology available today however it is makes it hard not to hit the runway you are looking for if you have everything set up right and with good cockpit management. I bet the pilots are embarassed, but at least they appear "technically" competent to fly the plane....haha
