Why Pilots Love to Vilify Other Pilots
The desire to find easy answers to incidents like the wrong-airport landing of the 747 in Wichita isn’t that hard to understand.

I almost landed at Camp Pendleton Marine Air Base once instead of Oceanside Muni Airport. See SkyVector LINK
It happened about 06:20
There was a lot of coastal fog that day obscuring the views, and we were coming in from off shore (outside the restricted military area after a LONG complex airspace flight). I was pointed at the Marine base for about 2 minutes or so while I was scratching my head, saying something doesn't seem right.
(I should make a page linking all the Top-to-Bottom movies in one... will do soon-- that's the series we are talking about recreating in 2015 with the Australian pilots... stay tuned)
Anyone else almost land at the wrong airport? Or ever make a mistake while flying ? ;)
