Runway 4L Incursion

KGMB, HNL's CBS affiliate, reports that there was a runway incursion on 04 Sep 06 that involoved a corporate jet (aircraft type & registration unknown) that mistakenly taxied down runway 4L.

The report says that the jet was cleared to land on Runway 4R, and expected to make a right turn exit at Taxiway E. then taxi to the FBO ramp. However, the jet missed the E exit, and turned left to exit 4R at K, then to taxi down Runway 8L to exit at C. Instead, the jet made a left turn on to 4L then taxied down until HNL ATC noticed the error.

Thankfully, this incident happened at 0230L, and not during peak periods, and that no one was injured, nor killed.
