DOH!
Just go to the FBO and follow the string on the wall map to where it comes out of the hole. Viola!!! That's where you are!
On a more serious note, I can remember as far back as a Continental 707 coming VERY close to landing at McConnell after mistaking it for the muni airport on the west side of town. Of course Jabara was just little Ken-Mar at that time. Seems a bit ironic that the two airports involved in this incident are both named for Korean war jet aces.
