    hmmm, seems like there's more too it.

    It's not your typical "landed on wrong runway" story.

          Yeah since the pilots had the passengers close their window shades. I doubt the passengers would know the difference. Maybe the pilots didn't want them to see the f-16's about to shoot them down

                SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

                    actually happens often in general aviation.

                    in certain parts of the country airports are in close proximity and have the same runway headings.

                    you descend out of the haze and you are on tower frequency and you see what you think is the right airport and you're talking to the controller and you instinctively head towards it without glancing at your gauges.

                    almost happened to me 20 years ago coming into long beach, luckily the controller caught it or i might have landed at a military base (this was in the days before GPS).

                    so it can, and does happen.

                      what are the penalties for landing accidentally on a military base?

                          Ya I heard about this the day it happened since I'm only 90 miles away. Weird shit for sure. All passengers got coupons for free airfare etc on their next flight for the mistake.
