similar in the Middle East when the dust in the air is the exact same color as the dust on the ground.

ABQ runway 26 at night from the west. Gotta turn within about 3 miles. So you're rolling out on final at about 1000'. Runways are hard to pick out at night and you can't see it from the left seat until you're leveling wings on final.
