CARLYSS —
When Southland Field built it's new state of the art T-Hangar here this past summer, it wanted to attract larger planes to the airport. Officials never envisioned having a Continental Connection plane land here though.
Some time after 8 p.m. Wednesday, a Continental Connection flight bound from Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport to Lake Charles Regional Airport mistakenly landed at the much smaller Southland Field — a freak occurrence that has happened at least two other times in the last 20 years. According to Sam Larsh, Southland Field Airport Manager, it happened twice in the mid 1990s.
