To add to the list, ISTR a VC-10 in 70/71 getting Sharjah and Dubai confused. Parallel runways a few miles apart and (in them days) not much else
apart from the runways.
Can't remember whether it was BOAC, Gulf Air or CrabAir though ......
[edited to add:]
From the "Wrongway" link:
April 22, 1978 - A Maverick Air aircraft, bound for Tel Aviv, Israel (TLV), mistakenly lands at Beirut, Lebanon (BEY). See "Cargo Pilot Finds Wrong Airport," Washington Post, April 24, 1978.
... probably
very lucky this mistake wasn't the other way round ........
As they say, I'm sure IDF would have "suitably counselled him on his error of judgement!"
