Narrative:

I just taxied off runway 2 and received clearance to taxi across runway 30 and hold short of runway 2. I started to taxi, but became confused and taxied on runway 30 and then almost crossed runway 2. Ground control ordered an immediate 180 degree turn and return to taxiway, which I did. A plane had just taken off on runway 2 and xed over me. The plane was high enough up that he was in no danger from me or even noticed me. I then taxied safely to the tie down and met with the 2 controllers as requested. We discussed the mistake and they showed me where I should have gone. The manager of the tower later called and we discussed again. I also notified my instrument and we practiced the taxi. It's a runway I don't use much and I was not as familiar as I should have been. Everyone was very helpful. There was no damage or danger to anyone.
