Because of a team effort the outcomes have always been successful. And yes... without landing at the wrong airport.
Happy flying Spur.
Okay, I see you position. I congratulate you on your 38 years of incident free flying. But realize we are all prisoners of our experience. You have 38 years of evidence that you are doing everything right.
My position is that when we view an event such at this, we should imagine ourselves on our worst day, and put ourselves in the position of the pilots who ended up where they did not want to be. There is something to learn here. And it is certainly not that these guys were complete idiots. They may be, who knows... but even complete idiots need help landing at the wrong airport...
