Eh... it happens, shouldn't, but it does...

In 1967, the crew of a TWA 707 mistook the Ohio State University Airport (KOSU) for Port Columbus International Airport (KCMH). After shuttling all passengers and baggage to Port Columbus, and removing all galley equipment and seats, the plane was light enough to depart for the larger facility across town.


There are pictures of a B707 holding position on our tiny 5000'x100' rwy

Layout is not similar, direction is, however the rwys at KCMH are twice as long if not longer.

KCMH (RWYs 10L-28R, 10R-28L)


KOSU (RWYs 9R-27L, 9L-27R)

A little history... This stuff happens a lot
