When I started operating single crew charter flights 30 odd years ago I was given some great advice from a much more experienced Captain. He advised me always to set up and follow the instrument approach even in perfect weather to avoid landing at the wrong airport. KRAP had a VOR and an RNAV approach so no excuse for this whatsoever. The fact that they got away with this is irrelevant as the outcome could have been catastrophic.
