Pakage, first off, it wasn't a a management crew, second, it wasn't a "hey nobody saw that so let's take off and not tell anyone", and third, be careful what you spout off about...you never know where you'll find yourself or what may happen to you! Most who find themselves in a situation like that NEVER thought it would happen to them.

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.

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.

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?

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

Here's another. Landed at MacDill instead of Tampa.
