The ATC tape I've heard start with him saying he's on a "Vi...RNAV GPS approach 19L". So it sounds like he was officially on an IFR approach but was actually on a visual. If they had entered the approach in the FMC and it was displayed on the Nav Display, one wonders how they got it wrong. After landing the pilot talks to McConnel tower to try and figure out where they are. From the level of confusion in the pilots voice, fatigue seems like a likely culprit here.

I personally heard a discussion between Delta and Gander Control when Delta checked in radar contact westbound to JFK, "Delta, say airspeed ... mach .80, But Delta you were assigned to cruise at M.82 for the crossing ... No sir, my company flight plan says M.80?"
- LANDED AT WRONG AIRPORT
This was all in the "old days" when Delta pilots thought they walked on water (and didn't have reciprocal jumpseat privileges?)
Those Delta guys sure were good

Wasn't Delta the subject of the late night comedians for years?
