A couple of days ago, two Canadian Air Force fighters were diverted from Tyndall to North West Florida Beaches airport.

They saw the old abandoned Panama City airport and began to land until the air traffic controller at Tyndall told them they were at the wrong airport.

I guess it could happen.

I've heard cases of commercial pilots landing airbuses at municipal airports near to much larger commercial airports. In one case the plane had to be disassembledand carried by truck to the airport where it was reassembled. In another the plane had to be stripped of anything not bolted down(and a few things that were, like seats), given a minimal fuel load so it could take off from a too- short runway and make the 3 minute flight to tthe correct airport.

Years ago, Delta landed a DC-6B at McDill AFB rather than Tampa International.

The next day, the crew of the same flight were discussing the idiots flying that flight the day before.... when they landed at McDill too!
