I would like to know what the controller at Ellison Approach was doing
instead of monitoring his/her scope and what the tower controller at
Rapid City was doing when he/she didn't see the aircraft as it called
inbound.

It's possible that ATC had the wrong destination listed for the aircraft. I
was vectored onto the wrong final approach course on an arrival into the
Dayton, OH area one time. ATC thought I was going to a different airport
than where I actually was.

Of course, in my situation, when the vector took me away from the localizer
I was supposed to be intercepting, I pointed that out to ATC and we
straightened everything out. ATC made a mistake, but it surely would have
been my fault if I'd landed at the wrong airport.

The pilot is the one responsible for making sure the airplane goes where
it's supposed to, not ATC.
