C-17 lands at wrong airport.

So what kind of callsign do you get after something like this?

RIF1 and RIF2

I've rolled out on a wrong runway once but caught it early enough and went around. You fly long enough, $hit happens.

So where was ATC backing up the crew on this?

They were on the "Land line" silly...

They said cleared to land xxx mcdill then the looked back down at their USA today. C17 responded back and landed at wrong airport. Most people realize their are about to land on wrong airport and go around. This one did not. Sucks. But it will happen again. Hopefully not to you or me

I like how the video says"...investigating to determine if it was pilot error..."

Stick a fork in that crew, they are done! If found to be pilot error (and how can it not be) they will all be busted and probably downgraded in qualification. Seen it happen to a whole crew for a much less public incident.

Beauty of being military is that no one gets to see your military flight records, except the Form 5. So mil guys never have to admit to things like busted check-rides, landing at the wrong airport, gearing up perfectly good aircraft etc.

Sounds like you are proud of the fact that you can FV(K up and not suffer any consequences. Loser.
