Ethiopian Airlines 737 Freighter Lands At Wrong Airport
The pilots of an Ethiopian Airlines Cargo 737 flight headed to Ndola, Zambia landed at the wrong airport on Sunday. (www.gatechecked.com) Más...Didn't a Lufthansa freighter land at KPOU instead of across the Hudson at Stewart AFB back in the '70s? ~'89 I was flying my C-152 following a friend in his C-150 to land at Fitchburg, MA. When he announced he was on final, Moore Army Air Base controller told him the Fitchburg airport was 5 miles further west. That's when my friend said, "The guy behind me borrowed my chart"! We heard laughing on the channel
News story I saw a few days ago mentioned how a later flight almost landed at the same airport. Since the airport is new it must stand out more at a distance getting the pilots to fixate. Not near as bad as a way back pilot that landed at the wrong airport saying he thought it was wrong having to land long to get over the vehicles on the runway.
A plane landed at the wrong airport reported by a writer reporting the wrong airport.
Copperfield Airport > Copperbelt International Airport
Copperfield Airport > Copperbelt International Airport
There is an old maybe lie story that a large airplane almost landed at the Hawthorne airport that is several miles southeast of its intended airport of L.A. international. LAX has 2 wider runways near each other and shares the same direction 25 of the Hawthorne airport.
If it really happened the pilot pulled up and landed at the correct airport.

when they lined up on MCC "United 123, start your right turn now to enter base leg for rwy 16" always happened at night... you'd see those landing lights turn toward SMF... pilots would usually call on phone and thank us..
