Yikes! 2200 feet available for landing on 5 with a nice 100 foot tdrop off waiting for them.

Lucky not all are dead!

Was this during the day? Doesn't the SAAB have some kind of MFD with a map display on it,even the outdated mu-300 that I fly has a small moving map.

it happens/can happen anywhere, ask GL about taxi M in ATL

 

[ultrarunner]

Well...GL made the correct airport, even he will tell you that. Wrong piece of concrete, but close enough!

Accuracy is overrated.

For god's sake, ckb rwy 21 has a loc, and dme off ckb vor ,when you take off out of mgw they give you heading 240 which pretty much puts you on an intercept for rwy 21.if unfamiliar, ask for vectors until you get used to the place.

GL,s outfit landed at the same WRONG airport...twice in a relatively short time period, worse yet they landed a DC-10 in the wrong COUNTRY....anybody who allows complacency, haste to take control sets themselves up for this error.....

Garbage operation

Well, to be fair, when I fly my passengers to Cinncinati Ohio (CVG), I always land in the wrong STATE!

Being defined as an airline that accidently lands at the wrong airport? There are a whole lot of other regionals and majors that have done the same.

Study up on the airline and where it comes from. Then you'll understand.

Haha yah very true!!!

Delta pilots are such sky-gods, that if they land on a piece of concrete, it automatically gains runway status.
Good goes around, Delta lands on taxi way Mike.

The Captain of this flight had just come over from Colgan, along with the Saabs.
