I remember being on a visual at Bermuda not to long ago. We were turning final to rwy 30 (ils out of service) following a c-130 on a pretty short final when it became clear that he was lined up for the parallel taxiway ...alpha I believe?? ...anyway before we could chime in the controller recognized (frantically) and instructed him to go around. At first i thought how ludicrous that was (especially after one would have noticed a rather tall lighthouse so close to your approach path
).....but after operating there a few more times in certain conditions i guess????
i could maybe see how one could become disorientated?????
...but in night/dawn conditions with approach lighting working correctly is a different story...eithery way it will be interesting to hear the details of the delta flight once released.
