Post by: CAP1 on December 10, 2010, 04:56:55 PM

If it was a helicopter then it's quite possible that they let him land on a taxiway.

+1, about 10 years ago when I went on a couple flyalongs, there was a taxiway that ran infront of the LACFD helicopter hangar at Van Nuys that had individual pads sectioned off on it for various individual helicopters, this taxiway was the location that they radioed the tower that they were TO or landing from/to at the airport.
