Angolan Airlines lands at wrong airport-Lun

Angolan 737-700 landed at Lusaka City Airport this afternoon (the small military strip in town) instead of Lusaka International.:uhoh: They were cleared for a visual into FLLS..but oh dear...the runway was very small and shorter then expected...and those steps took oh so long to come!

I wonder when they realised they were at the wrong airfield. That must have been fun in the cockpit. How did they get out of there...............:sad:
