This thread drift is somewhat interesting.....The turkey in CNS got off easy.

Way back in the late '60's not long after they put the new parallel runway in at MB (17R/35L), there was this chap that called inbound to MB, was given 17R and he never showed up and they lost contact with him.

Well he attracted the attention of the chaps in Essendon tower when he landed on the N/S taxiway there, right in front of the tower!! And that was before Tulla had fully opened.

Those were the days!!
