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,
airport. Only problem was that the passenger terminal was at
the Central Wisconsin Airport about 10 miles to the south. The
runway was too short to fly the plane out as-is, so they had to
bring in a new crew, strip down everything that could be removed,
drain out almost all the fuel, and then do a max performance take-
off.
