AMF Management Pilot lands at Wrong Airport

[Beer30]

Fellow AMF Brothers

Our ex Chief Pilot, Current management Pilot/Pilot Recuirter/Charter Pilot and General Ass Kisser managed to land one of our Learjets at the wrong Airport this morning. He was intended for Fox Field and thought that Palmdale AFB looked very much like FOX Field. He and his brand new FO were greeted warmly by USAF boys with guns.

Lets hope GR finds it in himself to dish out the same punishment to him that our brothers have gotten for crimes a lot less severe.

It's likely that some pronouncement will be made, but historically, management pilots at AMF, like those of virtually every other carrier on the face of the earth, have never suffered the same wrath for non-fatal, non tin-bending faux pais that line pilots do.

Many of the airplanes that AMF operates have been in service longer than some of the guys that are flying them. Believe me, if they could talk, they would tell tales that would curl your hair.

I hate it when I do that. Always landing at Love when I meant to hit DFW. Oh well, it's a quick taxi back to the right airport,and you just put airport conditions in for the delay code. The hardest part is jumping the curb back at the big 'Dub without the TSA shaking you down for your bottled water and hair gel.

Oh dear. If this is true I cannot think of two more dissimiliar airports in which to make such a mistake! Waiting for the memo to explain this one.

PMD vs. WJF.

PMD is a 30 day advance notice airport. There are 3 DOD (8400 series) forms that need to be processed and approved before one can land there. I ended up diverting one day recently to WJF when we were told by Joshua approach that our forms were not approved. I am glad that we did not meet the same fate as this crew. Besides, WJF is what, ~10 miles NW of PMD?

I guess some don't bother to backup with any available approach.

For you all this guy has caused headaches I am with you hoping that he gets his.

We all make mistakes however this sounds like someone who goes after you for the smallest items.

Later

HAP
