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 .

�It will be a little trial and error the first few times as we learn how far we need to be from Citi Field after Shea is gone,� Mayer said.

Hopefully, not too much error.
