That's pretty funny; flying to Meigs for repairs. If they get that done their pilots can land anywhere.
Actually it got off and went to TUL, about a 26 minute flight. It got off with no major effort, at least it didn't appear to
As of 2:PM Central, it is still there but it has filed to go to Tulsa. A whopping 28 minute flight covering 156 miles.
Make that 2:40PM
The Dreamliner got so much more attention for landing at the wring airport. That's because it's such an unusual and big airplane, and it landed on such a short runway.
But this Southwest plane was carrying 124 additional passengers and 3 additional crew members.
Apparently it shows that many pilots are routinely not using their nav equipment, when identifying their landing location.
