Most of the cowboys who land at wrong airports are those over confident of their stick-rudder seat of pants type who are are so gungho about showing off their " superior manual flying " skills at the first opportunity once they have an airfield in sight.
I am an old school, old timer who flew thousands of visual missions; but I bloody made sure I had other confirmation before I committed to diving down for the runway. Once in Quang Tri, I headed for a strip which looked exactly like my intended destination. Just fresh green aviator in my early twenties, I was quick to make a split arse turn and dove for the field...only my peripheral catching of the heading which was about 20 degrees off saved the day. I pulled out pronto, fast enough to avoid the bullets and rpgs that almost peppered my arse.
Trust your manual skills, but do verify!
