Northwest Pilot Lands at Wrong Airport, Tells Passengers Not to Look Out Windows

We've all had that miserably feeling of making a big booboo, and our first instinct is always to try to cover up our mistake and hope no one notices. A pilot for a Northwest flight recently had such an experience, when he accidentally landed his plane at a small military airport instead of Rapid City, South Dakota, where he was scheduled to land.
