A pilot flying a passenger plane from Liverpool to Ireland's Londonderry airport landed on a nearby military runway instead of the airport one. The passengers had to take a bus to complete their journey.
Apparently the skies were empty so the pilot had no need to refer to his equipment and just used his eyes instead. Which is quite scarey if you ask me. I know when I look out of a plane I think I see runway and it's actually a motorway. Perhaps that's why I'm not a pilot.
Me thinks the pilot is going to regret that one, even if they allow him to pilot a plane again he's never going to live it down from his colleagues. "And where will be landing today exactly?"
