After you read this you will have every excuse when you forget where you forgot your car keys.....LOL!!!!!
So in this terrifying radio exchange just before landing a massive 235 ft cargo plane at the wrong, and tiny, Kansas airport late on Wednesday, the pilot sounded confused. The man could be heard mixing up east and west, saying he could not read his own handwriting and getting distracted from the conversation by 'looking at something else.' Moments after touching down, when puzzled controllers told the pilot that he was 9 miles north of his intended destination, he made an unusual admission. 'Uh, yes sir, we just landed at the other airport.' His calm, understated response belied the danger of the situation:
The mammoth, Dreamlifter aircraft had just landed on the wrong stretch of concrete, miles from its planned path, in the dark. The runway just happened to be long enough to land. Fortunately the plane took off without incident on Thursday and landed at its intended destination. While it is rare for a pilot to land at the wrong airport, occasional confusion is not unusual.
so even the brains which can fly the planes get this confused, surely I have every excuse next time I forget where I parked my car...;-)
