Additional Event Information & Acknowledgement of Industry Sponsor(s):
Aviators have been landing aircraft at wrong airports for decades. Despite the tremendous advances in navigational technology since 1938, such incidents continue to occur most often when two airfields are located in close proximity and a pilot relies on what he sees out the cockpit window rather than his instruments and charts. Please come and provide your input so we can collectively be thinking how we might bettter alert pilots of this known risk.
