CARLYSS —
When Southland Field built it's new state of the art T-Hangar here this past summer, it wanted to attract larger planes to the airport. Officials never envisioned having a Continental Connection plane land here though.
Some time after 8 p.m. Wednesday, a Continental Connection flight bound from Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport to Lake Charles Regional Airport mistakenly landed at the much smaller Southland Field — a freak occurrence that has happened at least two other times in the last 20 years. According to Sam Larsh, Southland Field Airport Manager, it happened twice in the mid 1990s.

FlightAware > Continental Air Lines (United) (CO) #3222 > 03-Sep-2011 > KIAH-KLCH Flight Tracker
it appears the plane departed the newly installed runway 2 at IAH and landed somewhere short of Beaumont.

Probably a good thing the NorthWest guys that landed at the wrong field years ago probably won't have to be in that situation.
