Seems as if somebody needs to check their vision... Shouldn`t an experienced flight crew know the difference in airport markings?Or is this a case of an aircrew being in a hurry and losing track of things?
As a former flight instructor flying out of neighboring Merrill Field I can say that there is a major problem with regards to language at PANC.. .Anchorage ATC do deserve some respect because dechifering some of the Asian carriers` radio calls is not that easy.
Let`s just consider it lucky that the crew did not take off eastbound.2 major highways and a lot of houses lie just off the end of runways 6R and 6L.
