How does this happen ? Aren’t the pilots in contact with the controllers/ tower ?

I was stationed out there. This happens every couple of years. The base and the municipal airport are very close.

I can see some passengers in the back following the flight on Google maps on their cell phones saying, “We’ve landed at the Air Force base!” ;-)
Maybe they should all chip in and buy the Captain a Garmin. ;-)

Good thing it wasn't Area 51.
That would have presented...problems.

The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only.
The red zone is for immediate loading and unloading of nuclear weapons only. There is no stopping in the red zone. ;-)

I was an ATC for 35 years, the linked article pretty well explains how it happens.
Many years ago when I was working at Chicago Center, I cleared a North Central DC-9 for a visual approach to Oshkosh after he reported airport in sight and canceled radar service. After what seemed a long time he was reported on ground at Oshkosh.
Turns out he had landed at Fond Du Lac, realized the mistake, turned around, took off for 10 mile trip to Oshkosh. Nobody knew, except....
The next day a waitress at the coffee shop at Fond Du Lac called the center asking why a DC-9 landed and took off from there.
Both pilots lost their job, not for the mistake, but or concealing it.

That's it. They need to update the Jeppesen charts AND make it mandatory that airliners flying to Rapid City, SD have airliner-quality GPS on board, which nowadays allow for positioning accuracy within five meters (16 feet) accuracy.

It’s happened before. It will happen again. Mr. RR and actually saw this plane last night while sitting on our deck.

The opposite has happened as well. In the seventies an FB-111 out of Plattsburgh AFB landed at the nearby commercial airport. And the plane was carrying SRAMs. That was a career ender.

I guess it’s a good thing when the airport you mistakenly land at has enough runway to handle the aircraft. As I recall sometimes they don’t.
