Well, fatigue couldn't possibly have anything to do with this sort of mistake.

Everyone knows that cargo pilots don't need as much sleep as the pax guys do.

I have flown the Dreamlifter there with Evergreen many times and never went to the wrong airport. If they set up the approach with the "glass" and backed it up with the ILS, I simply don't understand how this could happen.

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

Put the gear down, don't run out of gas and land at the correct airport. That's all you have to do. Nice work.
