Rapid City Runway 7 Miles From Ellsworth Air Force Base, Where Jet Landed

EAGAN, Minn. -- Two pilots who landed an airliner at the wrong South Dakota airport have been suspended, a spokesman for Northwest Airlines said late Monday.

The Northwest flight carrying 117 passengers to Rapid City, S.D., veered off course Saturday and landed at nearby Ellsworth Air Force Base.

The plane remained on the ground for more than three hours as the pilots told Air Force security officers what went wrong -- and as a new crew was dispatched to continue the flight to Rapid City.

An Air Force spokesman said the pilots said they descended through a cloud and the first runway they saw was the one at Ellsworth.

The two runways are parallel, but about 7 miles apart.

**Good thing we weren’t on extra, extra high alert. Like double secret probation. Ellsworth Air force Base has a huge number of B2 Bombers that have taken part of the Iraq thing and some things in Afghanistan. They take of from here in South Dakota and fly over and do their thing. I wonder what would have happened if the had a few F16’s coming after them? **

Maybe it's just me, but you would have thought somebody would have noticed the Jumbo Jet heading in the wrong direction. Anybody home at the aircraft control tower?

Being South Dakota the pilots probably couldn't understand a word the guy in the control tower was saying... then again being South Dakota the ATC was probably drunk.

Some were in there is a South Dakota slam. The pilots were from Minnesota I think. The airbase is only 7 miles away. I would think the pilots could see the lights of Rapid City from where they were.

Oh, PG? What are you trying to say here?

I talk to allot of people and when I tell them I'm in South Dakota they sound as if they have never talked to anyone from South Dakota. Some ask if we have buffalo roaming the plains? I tell them that sometime we do, only if Pa Ingalls isn’t out there giving Laura wagon driving lessons.

I didn't even know y'all had the in-ter-net in South Dakota until I saw you on this board.

I'm gonna have as much fun with South Dakota as you have with Los Angeles.
