Just over two years ago, on July 7, 2016, a Delta Airlines Airbus A320, bound for Rapid City, South Dakota mistakenly landed at Ellsworth Air Force Base about 10 miles away. What’s surprising is that aShotgun Sweetie Shirt tee jet somehow made it onto the same runway used by B-1 Lancer bombers before anybody at the base could wave it off. And that wasn’t even the first time it happened. In June 2004 a Northwest Airlines A319 bound for Rapid City also mistakenly landed at Ellsworth. In January 2014, a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 headed for Branson Airport south of the tourist city in Southwest, MO, instead landed at tiny Clark Downtown Airport. The 737 requires more than 5,000 feet to land but Clark Airport only offered it 3,738 feet. They pilots used every bit of that runway to bring the plane to a halt, but all 129 people aboard were safe. It took Southwest a couple of days to fix the plane and fly it back off that same runway – with no passengers and a minimal load of fuel to keep the weight down and the takeoff run short. On Dec. 18, 2013 an Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 767, bound for Kilimanjaro International Airport in Tanzania wound up at Arusha Airport, 27 miles away, in the nearby city.
