Title: Pilot looking for work
Post by: EHM-0361 Karsten on April 01, 2006, 10:44:32 am

I'm wondering if this guy shouldn't start looking for a new job. Perhaps a job where he don't have to navigate too much
;D

I did this once in South Africa: I was descending to Cape town INTL and it was very dark and I was not using the GPS so I landed in a small airport next to CAPETOWN INTL :].... Don't laugh of me pilots...

The stupid thing is..that the two airports both have runways alligned in the same direction...so its quite easy to mistake them on visual...still...the pilot should be good enough to know the correct airfield!!
