The Boeing 747 Dreamlifter landed at Jabara airport after mistaking it for the McConnell AFB/Boeing runway. This is the take-off. It was pretty impressive!!
@@ironnads7975 You are correct, but sometimes it isn’t an error in grammar. I use an iPad, and sometimes my spellcheck has a mind of its own, and “corrects” the spelling and/or grammar on its own.
What a beautiful machine the 747 is-a near 50 year old design, runway too short, and still having to uplift the payload it was to have delivered elsewhere and still lift off gracefully. Always a majestic Airplane to watch.Long live the queen of the skies.
I'm speculating that going to KS the plane is near empty or lightly loaded. Coming back to Paine field in Everett they're fully loaded where the Dreamliner is assembled.

Give the credit to the Air Force team brought over as specialist as they deal with this sort of challenge in the various desert deployments frequently. It's a specific speciality.
I've lived here in Wichita quite some time and was so shocked to hear a plane of this size was even able to land there. It's a tiny little air strip. I couldn't believe they got it back in the air. The whole city was watching live that day I think I forgot to breathe. Trust me it's very small.
I live near the airport in the state where I live...how did you all find out a plane was about to land at the wrong airport? Or was it heard on a scanner?
@@dylandelarosa9856 What would you call it then Dylan? I am sure the airport of intended landing had an instrument approach, if they set up for the appropriate approach to the active runway as announced via ATIS or approach control and briefed what to expect including the go-around, it would have been very obvious on the approach to the unintended airport they were on approach to the wrong runway at the wrong airport. Instead, this runway was acquired visually and they flew a visual approach to that runway. Then came the “Oh s#%t.”
the approach was using RNAV, then they switched to visual, however the RNAV would have very likely still been tracking, and thus the pilot would've had his GS on the PFD.
I was a passenger on an Air Force KC-135 that landed at El Paso International instead of Biggs AAF back in the late 80’s. Yep. That didn’t work out well for the tanker crew.
Yikes I can imagine. My most bizarre landing (aside from an emergency wind shear pull up) was a corkscrew landing on a C-130. At least during that yo know it's planned but it's wild.
This mistake is actually pretty easy to make in Wichita, there are a lot of airports with runways aligned the same way, the Dreamlifter was on a non precision instrument approach to McConnel, when the broke out the runway in front of them was aligned the right way and they went for it. Obviously mistakes were made, but it's an easy mistake to make due to "confirmation bias". When they broke out, they saw what they expected and landed.
Only an "easy mistake to make" if you do no preflight briefing, not pre-landing briefing, don't have situational awareness...etc. That's why they were fired. Follow the rules or leave the job. They were just lucky their inability to follow protocol didn't hurt someone, just damaged a runway. Combined, they may have been a wit, but each of them only a ...
@@andyowens5494 I'm not a pilot so forgive me if this is a stupid question or been answered a bunch, but I can only scroll so far. What happens to their licenses after something like this happens? Do they get "points" like a driver's license? What happens basically? Does it scale where a newer pilot or student pilot gets more of a pass, but someone flying one of the largest planes around sorta gets taken out back and essentially shot?
@@mallard206 There is no points system on pilots licences, but events like this certainly go on their personnel record, and that goes to whoever employs them in the future (history is essential in accident investigation too, if they eventually go that far). Criminal breaches may go to the regulating authority, with the potential to have the licence revoked. Lesser "offences" tend to be down to the judgement of the employer - having a licence and certifications (aircraft type, instrument rating etc) can be enough for some employers. You have to have a pretty clean record to fly big aircraft, with passengers, for a prestigious airline; crew on A380's and Concorde (ex) would be some of the best. Folks who fu(k up (in small ways) repeatedly tend to end up in aviation backwaters - remote cargo operations (note: not all pilots in remote backwaters have bad records, some choose it, cargo comes with less grief, and Alaska, the outback and the Okavango are beautiful places, and flying cargo in some areas can be rewarding - financially and for humanitarian reasons). The "sanction" does tend to be based on risk - the degree of stupidity shown and the potential impact. Don't forget, no pilot flys alone at this level - there is a crew. Newer crew members are supposed to be paired with more experienced (doesnt always happen!) so most mistakes should be caught in the cockpit, or via the radio. Student pilots DO make mistakes, and thats why instructors are some of the most experienced :) - its expected, and part of learning (just not too many and not too serious if they want to pass). Highly experienced crew making mistakes is rare, so when it happens they tend to be part of an investigation/assessment, and may end up needing additional training is some key aspect of their role. A fu(k up like this is pretty big, as so much could have gone wrong; there could have been other small traffic on the runway, the runway might have been too short to land on (they didn't know which one they were on, so how could they know its length), they did wreck part of the surface which needed repair at significant cost, and perhaps most importantly, they did NOT follow all the procedures properly to allow this to happen - which in most companies is serious enough. Hope that helps?
@@andyowens5494 Thanks! That makes sense to me. Like you said, so many worse things could have easily happened with a fu9k up of this size. When I lived in Seattle I saw that thing going in and out of Boeing field and it's freakishly huge.
Wrong airport huh. I was a firefighter at Beale AFB in the mid 80's. Home of the SR-71, TR-1 and U-2 spy planes. Needless to say security was very tight. You had to have a top secret security clearance. One day the security police respond to some poor pilot who landed his Cessna. After he was "subdued".....he asked if this was the Lincoln Airport......a much smaller municipal airport some 15 or 20 miles to the south. Oops!
Been on the runway working at DFW airport when this beast took off . You couldn’t hear it until it was right on you . We had to take our hard hats off before he got to us Incase it sucked them off our heads
As I recall they made the plane as light as possible and got some test pilots in, from either Boeing or the Air Force I am not sure which and, when conditions were righting and everything was put in place they crossed their fingers and powered up!
Back in DaNang in 1968 we had a C-130 mistake a helicopter base (MAG 16) for DaNang AFB. He got in okay but on the way out he used everything the MAG had to offer. My hooch was 300 yards from the base perimeter. He was about 150 feet in the air as he roared overhead and that was empty

No, The flight crew that flew the plane into Wichita 'Got Lost' and landed at the WRONG airport the night before. 15 miles away from the field they were supposed to land at. They landed at Jabara airport which has only a 6200 foot runway. They were immediately relieved and a new crew flown to Wichita to recover the aircraft and fly it to the correct field.
@@jtuttle11 I'd never heard what happened to the crew. There's a guy with a YT channel that flies the Dreamlifter. I always ask if he knew the crew. Lol
I remember this clearly. Took a long lunch to watch the takeoff but it was delayed and I missed it by about 10 minutes. Had to get back to the office for a meeting. Probably would have skipped the meeting except the guy who came to town just for the meeting was with me in the car! It was cold that day, too. These folks were dedicated.

I remember this like it was yesterday I was at the movie theater waiting for the movie to start and heard the dream lifter landed at Jabara which I don’t know how you can mess up Landing at Jabara and not McConnell because McConnell is massive compared to Jabara lol
Danang AB Vietnam 1968, a DC8 landed at the Marble Mountain Marine Base by mistake, instead of Danang. The runway at Marble Mtn. was only about 5 thousand feet long. The pilot quickly realized his mistake and got her stopped but the nosewheel was at the end of the tarmac. The aircraft was off loaded, pushed back to the other end and took off a day or so later by another crew.
Was there any 'excuses' for the landing? A single short landing strip compared to one twice as long with multiple runways? Even at night you couldn't see you were going to a postage stamp? Was ATC not available?
Black smoke means absolute maximum power. I don't know if this machine still has it, but the old 747s had water injection in the engines to reduce exhaust gas temps to get more power at the expense of fuel economy for certain situations.
That makes no sense. You are still required to dial the ils on s visual In transport aircraft. I don’t believe you anyway because you’d get pushed out to a hold if you denied the visual at most airports. They don’t want to clear a long final just for you.
An airline landed a fully loaded Boeing 707 at the Portland/Troutdale Airport decades ago. It's big enough for Cessnas and Beechcraft. The aircraft was off-loaded, all cargo and interior seats removed so it could take off with just enough fuel to make it to the Portland International nine miles further on. 4,000 ft. runway isn't much for a 707. :)
That's dope aren't there like 5 dreamlifters in the world. Awesome flying by the pilots, can't understand what was the rush for that steep rotation. It seemed like they were barely getting positive rate. We need a longer video tbh.
I think there are four. From what other pilots have said in the comments that is standard procedure for a short runway take off with the goal being as much altitude gain as possible in the shortest distance.
Wow, did they land in zero visibility? The runway at Jabara is 30 metres wide, that's half the width of the runways that they are supposed to land on and only 1860 metres long compared to the usual 3000 metres plus that most airports have.
Unless I am wrong, but the aircraft that took off was a A380 Airbus. The Boeing 777 Dreamliner is totally different? I’m I right or do I stood to be corrected!
Wow pretty steep climb. Pilots were trying to disappear into the clouds asap because of the embarrassing situation.

Wow, did they land in zero visibility? The runway at Jabara is 30 metres wide, that's half the width of the runways that they are supposed to land on and only 1860 metres long compared to the usual 3000 metres plus that most airports have.
As I remember it, the day they landed was a fairly clear day.
Was this Kelsey from 74 gear lol
And it vanish to the clouds and never to be seen again.
Great job guys...
Glad you got to see it. It is a common sight near my house. 15/33 KJZI
I see a dreamlifter once or twice a week...but only one time has it ever landed at that airport 😂
Unless I am wrong, but the aircraft that took off was a A380 Airbus. The Boeing 777 Dreamliner is totally different? I’m I right or do I stood to be corrected!
You are wrong. It is neither an A380 or a 777. It’s a Dreamlifter not a Dreamliner.
A modified 747-400
First it's a 747-400LCF DreamLIFTER not Dreamliner. Second the 787 is the Dreamliner not the 777.
