reminds me when I was single pilot, many years ago, set up for "straight in" to KEYW (civilian field) by approach and I was by default also lined up for Key West Navy. Sunset. Landing light on. called the (wrong) field in sight and handed to KEYW tower. "November XYZ, yes you are in sight, cleared to land"
Thank god it was sunday when I did the low approach and continued to KEYW
these things unfortunately can and do happen, if the devilish chess pieces are lined up (no pun intended)
