Nice link but obviously incomplete.

I see no mention of United landing in Counsel Bluffs vs Omaha or Trans States in Springdale vs Fayetteville AR (Drake).

But the Trans State incident illustrates the rub.

If you F up, stop and fess up. If you land successfully at the wrong airport the FAA really can't take any action.

The Trans States crew taxied back and repositioned the flight to the correct airport.....with no release, W/B , performance, etc.

Nailed!

In 20,000 hours I have nearly fell for the wrong airport more than once. And if you think you are immune, you're next to do it.
