So this happened last night.......
A Boeing 747 LCF Dreamlifter was to land on Runway 19L at McConnell AFB (which shares runways with Spirit Areosystems (old Boeing Wichita Plant) to drop off cargo and pick up a completed forward fuselage (from nose to leading wing edge) of a 787 dreamliner. They spin the whole assembly up in carbon fiber and fit it out so all they do in Seattle is mate it to the rest of the 787....anyway........
They landed at Col. James Jabara airport in East Wichita on a runway thats only 6000 feet shorter than the one at McConnell AFB. I'd say its a career ender for the crew, hell they didnt even know where they landed.
