A Canadair RJ that was bringing back the Notre Dame basketball team from Providence RI actually landed at Elkhart Municipal Airport instead of South Bend Regional Airport around 0130 on Wednesday. The two airports are about 12 miles apart. Towers for both airports were closed at the time.

or the (I think NW) Northwest 747 that landed at Brussels instead of Frankfurt. (And everyone in the cabin knew they were in the wrong place too, thanks to the IFE Maps. Apparently, the flight crew were the only people who thought they were in Frankfurt.)
