Silver Airways flight lands at wrong W.Va. airport in 1st week of service; no one injured - The Washington Post
See, this is a big plus to being a bush rat lol. I've done this (on purpose, for various reasons... snow birms, mud, etc.) and Alaskans, CPs, DO's could care less. Did it once fresh off IOE by accident before I learned what an Alaskan NDB was. I just played it off, "Hmmm, I guess our pax arn't coming? Scuse me sir, how do you pronounce the name of this village? At-Muth-Luk? oh I see, thanks! Alright, lets head for Akichuck!"

I imagine it's a bigger deal in those "big" airplanes... but 3200' seems like something that should have looked a little tight on final? But who am I to question a fellow professional? Be interested to see what comes of it.
