Too many years ago, Bill Martin and I departed Kolb, Int. for a trip to Quakertown, PA for an airshow. We took off on a beautiful morning and enjoyed the unobstructed views of the countryside from our UltraStars. After some time, Bill pointed to an airport below and entered the pattern, I followed him down and taxied up to the pumps. I said to Bill “This isn’t Quakertown … where are we?” He replied: “don’t you know?” I said, “no I don’t know - I was following you.” He replied: “I was following you!”
We then had to ask THE QUESTION: Where are we? Hate to have to ask that question!

It doesn't just happen to Kolbers, Brother Kinne....one fine summer Sunday morning in 1955 an Eastern Air Lines Martin 404 did that very thing at Bowman Field in Louisville... hazy, milky calm morning... he was talking to Standiford tower 5 miles away, but landed at Bowman... I heard the commotion and looked up when he reversed the props to stop it... I stood there with my skinny lineboy mouth hanging open as he taxiied up... the "company" refused to let him take off again and hop over to Standiford... he had to shut 'er down in front of the old airline terminal and I chocked him... in about 2 hours they sent busses to get 'em all... I am pretty sure he had plenty of compasses, clocks and no tellin' what all in there... it sat there all that day and a crew came to fetch it the next morning. Paperwork...?

Here in Miami, about 10 years ago same thing happened to a Delta Airlines MD-80. They were talking to Miami tower, doing a Visual to Miami International airport runway 9, but ended up landing on runway 9 at Opa Locka about 7 miles to the north... Very embarrassing to do something like this to a very large airport, with all sorts of moder navigation, they just saw the wrong airport first and went for it !
