He ain't dead, so the Darwin award is out of the question.

Some years ago, there was another German who landed in Bangor, Maine and thought he was in San Francisco. Maybe this guy is related.

Tobi Gutt?
Could probably use the exercise anyway.

Wrong time of year to be packing your summer clothes in Montana...unlike Australia.
Mamma always said spelling was important.

Instead of arriving "down under", Gutt found himself on a different continent and bound for the chilly state of Montana. Does this guy have any Chinese cousins named Wang Wei by chance?

"I thought to myself, you can fly to Australia via the United States." Gutt's airline ticket routed him via the U.S. city of Portland, Oregon, to Billings, Montana. Only as he was about to board a commuter flight to Sidney -- an oil town of about 5,000 people -- did he realize his mistake. I've been telling a venture capitalist buddy of mine there needs to be a direct international flight from Billings, Montana to Sydney, Australia.
I now have proof of demand.

A British tourist to the US wanted to fly home to Manchester, and he did...Manchester, NH, that is. Yes, there's more than one Manchester around(in fact there's a Manchester in each of the New England states though the Mass. one added "-by-the-sea"). He was wondering why the fare was so low.

"I thought to myself, you can fly to Australia via the United States."I suppose, but isn't Australia closer to Germany than the US West Coast?

Just a few months ago we had something like 14 Egyptian students LOST, originally on their way to "someplace Montana" virtually all of them ended up at other airports and towns with an MT or MN in the destination airport designator.
People laughed at the idea you can get lost this way and demanded these fellows be strung up as terrorist invaders.
Here's a German who's explaining why he's lost the same way as a MISTAKE.
Why should we believe him. They have Moslem terrorists in Germany too. Could be he belongs in jail for a couple of months until we sort this out.
