I was going to BHM for the first time through ATL. As usual I know the approach and landing patterns after doing it for so long. But all of a sudden I had no idea where I was and then we landed on 10-28. I was so confused where I was. I have never landed on that runway before. I quickly did a search to see if it was new and was dumbfounded to find out that it's been around for a number of years. Then on my return flight we landed on 10-28 again.
I swear I've never landed on it before. Anyone else have an experience like this?
Runway 10/28 opened in 2006.
I've landed on 10/28 a handful of times and taken off from it once. Everything else seems to be a 50/50 arrival split between 9R/27L and 8L/26R. Departure is almost exclusively 9L/27R for some reason though, regardless of if the plane is a CR2, M88, or 763.
