NY Times Article Here: [url]http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/26/sports/baseball/26pilots.html[/url] They quote a Delta pilot whose name is -- no, really -- Mike Piazza.

Great article , very interesting. I never knew that they used Shea as such a marker, and I never knew that a pilot in 1964 mistook the lights on top of the stadium for the runway and nearly hit it .
