Nightrider,

Almost correct, you need to add the bit about the missed approach, the wide visual circuit which ended up at the military airfield, the worlds shortest B747 landing and the fact that before the wheels hit the ground, they knew that they were in the wrong place!

You could also add the part about the pax sitting on the aircraft for 5 hours before they could get them off.

And before anyone asks, it didnt takeoff from the same runway.

As for the Captain, I believe that he was asked to "retire".
