At the public terminal where I fly out of (Troutdale) there's a photo of a United 707 that mistook Troutdale for Portland International. Imagine landing a jet and realizing that the 11,000 feet of runway you expected is only 5,000 feet long. They had to strip the plane of all excess weight and bring it a special pilot to get the plane out. The pilot who landed it rode the plane out with the stand-in crew. Was probably his last flight with the airline. -c
