Very, very well said. Bravo, sir.

United DC-8 Troutdale Muni, OR
 

Boeing sold their Wichita Division a few years and now turn around and buy from them. It was a B-29, B-47 and B-52 factory.

Happened to a DC-8 crew in Vietnam in the 60s... landed at Monkey Mountain instead of Danang.... oh... the runway at MM was on about 4000+- feet of steel sheeting..... yes they got it stopped.... barely....

Pilot was confused after landing
 

not surprising. Still, probably not as confused as MEMBrain during any given moment.

AOL.com Article - After mistaken landing at wrong airport, Dreamlifter pilot was confused

Having gone through what this crew is about to experience (which will likely take several months), I would respectfully suggest to all of you folks who would love to crucify them, keep it to yourself. Right now, these folks are probably beating themselves up enough without your help.

Or, just go ahead and kick them in the b***s and feel proud of yourself.


Just for fun, on your next few legs, count how many times you make a mistake that was caught by someone else. Then imagine the worst outcome had the other guy not fixed your screw up.

Suggest you look at MSG 107. It was Marble Mountain, April 1969, 3200 ft long, very narrow, #2&3 eng over runway edge.

best contribution to this thread so far

I can't hate on these guys. I hooked a T-1 ride in UPT for lining up on a visual to Wichita when I was shooting for McConnell.

These guys prob feel like ******, lets catch our buds when they fall down.

Any audio or video that 'good guy' Vincent can play at the Jetlag?
Might be a learning experience for those who haven't landed at the wrong airport....
