I've been told this story a few times...

back in the mid-1980s a 747 mistook Ohio State University airport (KOSU) for Port Columbus International (KCMH). OSU is RWY 27 L&R and CMH is 28 L&R, so close..... just 5000 feet less room at OSU... (longest rwy is 5004x100 with trees at either end)

I'm told the smoke from the brakes was something to see, as well as the departure a few days later after off-loading seats, etc...
