“It would be easy to laugh at a crew landing a C-17 on a 3,500' runway instead of the 11,421' runway they were expecting.”

Perhaps an example of ‘target fixation’ in using the HUD to assess the flight path intersecting the landing zone and not ‘seeing’ the actual runway length or surrounding cues?
