G,
Are thinking about the China Air A340 that departed on taxiway K instead of runway 32 at Anchorage International Airport (ANC) ?
Taxiway K was almost a heading of 090 not 320 like runway 32, left big marks in a snow berm at the end and then contunied onto Taipei.
Understand many people in the past have mistaken Essedon for Melbourne, and the railway yards just near Perth for Perth airport espically at night where the railway yards lights are brighter than the airports.
