Picking nits here, I know..
but they weren't on a VFR approach. Visual Approach, yes, but that is an IFR procedure. And in all fairness, they weren't the first, and certainly not the last.
NWA1152, scheduled from MSP to Rapid City, SD, made it to its destination, but instead of landing at Rapid City Airport, landed at Ellsworth AFB, 10 miles away.
And let's not forget that Boeing Dreamlifter that was supposed to land at Wichita that landed at a Jabara airport, 12 miles northeast of Wichita.
BL.
Sure but on those other two, somebody at ATC deserves to hang by their thumbs too.
