Here's a quote from another site. I remember the 707 incident. I believe they had to strip one of the airplanes to make it light enough to get out.

"I remember quite a few flights to YUL where you almost overflew Cartierville airport and could see the runway below a couple of minutes before landing at YUL. More than one airliner, including a Pan Am 707 and a BOAC Britannia, landed at Cartierville by mistake, thinking it was YUL."

Zweibrucken Tacan ch 49 and Dutch base tacan ch 49. You guessed it, a 104 pilot based at Zwei locked on to the Dutch tacan, flew the Zwei tacan approach and had to land off it because he didn't have enough gas to come home.
