Ohhhh ain't no big deal, I land at the wrong Airport all the time quite frequently actually, I take off from the Midwest, and just land where-ever

I just tell my Passengers, well, we made it this far, you should feel so lucky, guess you'll have to walk the rest of the way,,,

I got no compass, no radio's and I have NO Pilots license and NO Money either !!

Thank You for Flying, Bankrupt Airlines !!

Sincerely, your Pilot Goober Dufus !

Happens in real life also. Recently read again the story of the New York to Nome flight by four DH-4s in 1920. At one town all the local dignitaries were at the airfield awaiting the flight, ready with speeches, a band, all the pomp and ceremony they could muster. The entire flight landed at the wrong airport, on the other side of town. They quietly took off, flew out of sight around the town and landed at the correct airfield.

150 landings at the wrong airport in the last 20 years in the US. San Jose seems like an easy one to cock up.

Given the number of flights it's not too bad I suppose.
