This happened at purple a while back in the 727..... happened to be a management crew. "hey, nobody saw that so lets take off and not tell anyone." Oops!

I've always counted ATC as my CRM wingman...I don't see much help prior to and definitely after touchdown by the tower flower.
I'm glad everyone and all the equipment survived this event. This will be an interesting after action read starting from the approach brief on in to touchdown. |

OK ... so you've just landed your 747 at a General Aviation airport with no control tower. What's the first clue that you screwed up (besides the fact that you can't tell where you are on the airport diagram and none of the taxiways have standard markings)?
- DOH! :eek: 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. |

No...! I mean ANY incident involving any crew member around the world, we tend to just dismiss major mistakes as "well, it happens" here in the US but crucify pilots from anywhere else:rolleyes:

747 Dreamlifter lands at wrong airport
Massive cargo plane that landed at wrong Kansas airport finally makes it to right one
Oops. Glad there were no injuries except to egos. |
Slight derail, if I may....
I'm simply curious--nothing to do with this incident, but seeing the video, etc., piqued my curiosity: Is the Dreamlifter a standard 747 type, or must the crew be specially certified? For an otherwise qualified & experience 747 guy, how does it fly? |

At least Delta pilots land at the right airport, if not the right bit of pavement!;)

I take it you're a somewhat young pilot. (Senior Skipper? Really?)

I think everyone is misunderstanding Senior Skippers comment. I took it to mean that they land at the right airport, but sometimes they just happen to land on the taxiway instead.
