Well, I don't understand how Ameerican pilots who understand American airports and American airspace land at the wrong airport, but here are two examples of that happening.
One by Continental
Continental Grounds Pilots Who Landed at Wrong Airport - latimes
One by Southwest
SW Pilots who landed Airplane at wrong airport have been removed - KiiiTV.com South Texas, Corpus Christi, Coastal Bend


I am pretty sure there are others. I don't think the pilots lost their licenses, but I also think they fessed up.
