Might be a learning experience for those who haven't landed at the wrong airport....
Sum Ting Wong.......So, if someone is offended by you making fun of asian accents......are you going to change it? Vincent is a good guy, maybe you should move on.

Oddly enough, if you look across the runway from the McConnell AFB ramp, you will see.....(wait for it).... Boeing- Wichita! Or their successor, anyway.

But not if you are in Jabara!

Back in the late 1980's we took our KC135's into Wichita to get their new engines (JT3D's off of American's retired 707's) and wings re-skinned, and those same 1950's airframes are still flying today, most of them were older than I was, and are still flying.

Did they do an ocean crossing before this flight? It takes a tremendous lack of crosscheck and disregard of path/energy management to pull this off.

Sure.. The cues of an airport with a 12,000 runway are the same as a 6,001' runway, not to mention the aprons. Sure anyone can make that mistake.

No breadsticks or cognac for the crew.

Clamp...from a Delta guy whose folks came in from South America and landed on the taxiway in ATL...or Hank Duffy's DC-9 wrong airport excursion...that's a rich comment.

Or is the "Grits Mafia" pure as the driven snow?

Maybe you should be more concerned about how ol' Lee is gonna explain DPA at the next Exec Board meeting...

Didn't Delta land one at Macdill Air Force Base instead of Tampa several years ago?

"Grits Mafia" ... that's pretty funny.

I've always called it the "inbred-brother-in-law-training/management-club"

Then there are the union negotiators (they frequently become brother-in-law club members later) that meet with Management at "Prayer Meetings" ... no kidding. Yep, they actually pray that they can agree to a contract with Management? YGTBFKM

Is their contract enforceable? Perhaps a little grace before lunch may help us out.
