And Kansas, USA is of course known for giant mountains that would contribute to a CFIT accident (this is sarcasm as Kansas is pretty flat)
And if there had been a plane on the runway or nearby, perhaps the TCAS would be triggered? Or a visual sighting would have garnered a call to ATC regarding traffic and putting together they were at the wrong airport.
Of course you do.
