I know of at least one Tomcat that came aboard the wrong ship. They didn't notice it until the RIO said, "aw shucks, we came off of 67, this is 64" or words to that effect.

Funny thing about the ILs or RNAV approaches at KCKB, they all end at a runway. I'm fine with visuals, but these two mistakes are the resukt of guys jumping to conclusions and not paying attention to details. There is another posting elsewhere about setting the heading bug within a couple of degrees of the assigned and calling it OK or gripping about mil pilots be anal about those details--sweat the details and the big stuff will take care of itself.
