It does seem quite amazing that they should mistake such an obviously narrow and short runway for a long and wide one. However, in their defence, I donīt believe that the a/c was based there (itīs more of an C-135/KC-135 base) and at the time of day they made the approach they would have had the Sun in their eyes. Lucky there wasnīt any light a/c on or near the runway.
