| #8 I don't think the same crew took off since they had a lots of 'splaining' to do. Once in Miami some pilot almost landed on the 836 expressway that parallels the runway, somebody in the DOT managed to put the highway lights on the same spacing as the runway lights. |

| #7 Happened more than once that some fighter jock put his bird down on the wrong CV. Guess they should paint the hull numbers in bigger sizes... |

| #3 One pilot received a "Unsatisfactory" On his score sheet. (And probably has to take Navigation all over) |

| #2 Not quite as bad as this - In 1967 a commercial aircraft, a TWA Boeing 707, bound for Port Columbus mistakenly landed at OSU [Ohio State University] Airport. After landing the passengers were taken by bus to Port Columbus. To fly the jet out of OSU Airport it was stripped* of equipment to make it lighter to enable it to safely and successfully take off. * we're talking removing most of the interior passenger accommodations back to its factory metal frame. |

| #1 Pilot forgot to look for the golf course and awaiting crew bus. |
