Heard a thing like this a few years ago; they thought they were landing in
Amsterdam, turned out to be Frankfort, as I recall.


They did this about a decade ago with one of the smaller planes,
either a 727 or DC-9. The crew landed at the Wausau, Wisconsin,


This is not an uncommon situation in the airline world. A 737 landed
at Cabaniss field instead of CRP a few years ago... That was a little
like this last incident. The crew popped out of the overcast and there
was a runway lined up in front of them....A check airman did that one
I understand... And not one, but two, EMB-120s landed at Sulphur
instead of Lake Charles just weeks apart. Both were from the same
airline.
