Early 1990's.
I'm flying MIA-SDQ (Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.)
The ILS is out of service, wx is marginal VFR w/ CB's in the
vicinity. Approach in use is a VOR, overhead teardrop
style. There was (still is) a caution on the plate about
mistaking a military airfield for SDQ. Said airfield is located
1-1:30 as one turns inbound on the final course.
In the old days my carrier considered SDQ as a 'special
hit city' and required us to observe a video. We put
a B747 into that military field in the early 70's.
F/O is flying and I mention the importance of 'raw data' to
verify proper landing.
The F/O seemed both surprised and happy as he stated;
"oh, you don't know about me."
The week prior he had landed a B727 at that military airfield.
This is the best part! -
On that appoach (week prior/wrong airport) a
F/C passenger yelled to the F/A; "tell the pilot that he is landing
at the wrong airport!!!" The F/A told him; "Sir, this is American
Airlines, not Dominicana, we don't do that kind of
thing."
-True story.
