    I’ve done approaches into MacDill AFB for runway 23 many times and I can see how the AF pilot may have mistaken the wrong airfield for landing. Peter o Knight’s runway 22 lines up nearly perfectly with runway 23 at MacDill and it’s easy to confuse the two runways, especially if you’re doing a visual approach on final for runway 23 at MacDill, aren’t familiar with the area, and the Peter O Knights airfield being uncontrolled. Glad to hear the pilots landed safely and were able to take back off again. Definitely a call sign review is in order lol.

      A similar incident happened in 1977 involving 4/F-105s transiting to MacDill. The weather was partly cloudy with showers in the area around Tampa Bay. MacDill had been using Runway 04 but due to the wind shift, from the SW, Runway 22 become the active runway about the same time the flight of 4/F-105s were inbound. In 1977, MacDill had a PAR approach but couldn't get their equipment aligned quickly enough for the inbound F-105s so, the flight lead requested a Visual Approach to runway 22 from Tampa Approach! Tampa Approach approved the Visual Approach, the flight lead reported the runway in sight, and the fight was handed off to MacDill Tower for the Visual Approach. The flight checked in with MacDill tower for the Visual Approach, however due to the low visibility, the tower controller stated to the flight lead, "not insight, check wheels down, wind ___, cleared to land runway 22 MacDill." The flight lead responded, "Runway 22 in sight, base, gear down, cleared to land rwy 22!" As noted in the video above, the runway at MacDill is nearly 12,000 ft but, the runway at Peter O' Knight is only about 3,000 ft ...and the F-105 would use about 2,000 ft just to get the wheels on the ground due to their speed! When the flight lead landed and realized his mistake, he unfortunately had already deployed his drag chute. Flight lead quickly dropped his chute, instructed the other 3 aircraft to go-around, and executed a touch and go! The flight proceeded to MacDill and landed uneventful, minus one drag chute for flight lead which had to be retrieved from Peter O' Knight ground crew.
      A note of caution for both MacDill Tower and Tampa Approach: Never assume the pilot has the correct runway 22 in sight for a Visual Approach for these 2 runways. Because of the close proximity and the runway alignments for MacDill and Peter O' Knight, it's very easy to make the mistake and land at the wrong airport. While I was working at MacDill Tower in the late 70s, we would have at least 10 civilian aircraft land Runway 22 at MacDill each year and the pilot thought he/she was landing at Peter O' Knight. Never assume the pilot has the correct runway in sight for a Runway 22 Visual Approach and I'm positive this is exactly what happened to the C-17! In 1977, it was the responsibility of the Tampa Approach Controller to monitor the aircraft to it's destination but failed to do so in this case but, the tower controller correctly stated to the 4/F-105s "Not in Sight, cleared to land" for the Visual Approach since the pilot stated he "had the runway in sight!"
      On a side note: While working traffic on a busy Friday at MacDill in 79', with F-16s everywhere, a DC-10 cleared for a Visual Approach to rwy 36L at Tampa, landed on rwy 04 at MacDill in the middle of a severe thunderstorm!

      @@Skybusdriver Terry ...another incident that happened at MacDill in 79 involved T-38's from Craig AFB (since closed). During a fly-in for the summer 79 Air Show at MacDill, we had aircraft parked everywhere on what's called the "North and South" ramps. The T-38's were cleared for a Visual Approach to rwy 22, but because of past knowledge of pilots landing at the wrong airport, I was watching the flight very closely to ensure they landed on the correct runway. Turns out my hunch was right as the flight of 2/T-28s, tried to land on the North Ramp which is/was also aligned with rwy 22. When I finally spotted the aircraft on a short final to the ramp, I quickly told them to "Go Around" averting a catastrophic accident.

    As if those pilots couldn't have been anymore embarrassed, they weren't transporting pallets of beans, they had none other than Gen. James Mattis, commander of CENTCOM, onboard. Imagine THAT feeling - landing at the wrong strip with a four-star general onboard. Fortunately, Mattis was a champ about it and said:
    "The young pilot did a good job landing, albeit on the wrong strip,"
    and
    "Some young guys made a human error, and hopefully they'll recover and enjoy long and illustrious careers."
    What a fucking BOSS.

Meanwhile the US was bearing for some exposure by foreign press about what may have occurred to the American pilot. The Pilot's mission involved if he was to get shot down he was to inject himself with a poison. Since the news of missing reconnaissance plane never came to light during the propaganda Cold War the US had to issue a statement because an American was missing, so a statement was issued that a weather experimental plane was missing. After the American press release of the missing plane the Soviets setup an EDM festival that includes a parade as the finally with USAF pilot Gary Powers as its Master of Ceremony.

    This same thing happened with a Southwest flight near me in Missouri a few years ago. A flight from Chicago to Branson (BKG) landed at the small general aviation airport rather than the large regional airport. Both airports are on the same compass radial coming from Chicago but the small one is 3 miles closer. If a person didn't familiarize themselves with the layout of the area beforehand it could be very easy to see a runway in front of you and assume that was it. They were in contact with the tower, cleared for landing, and then suddenly disappeared. Took a few minutes to figure out why the tower lost them. Both pilots were reprimanded, they stripped the airplane of all extra weight, bused the passengers to the other airport, and a few days later had one of their senior pilots come in for a pretty dramatic short field takeoff. The drama was enhanced by the cliff that sits at the end of the general aviation runway.

    Turns out, Gen. Mattis (!!) was on board the flight - on way back from Italy.
    The pilot first mistook a 3rd airport (NOT Peter O Knight) for McDill...and two other crew 'corrected' him (incorrectly) saying no, that's Peter O Knight when in fact that airport was Tampa Executive airport. So when they saw Peter O Knight, due to a very long flight and fatigue, and thinking they'd just passed Peter O Knight (when in fact it was Tampa Executive they'd just passed), they assumed this one was McDill AFB when actually it was the REAL Peter O Knight.
    Gen. Mattis evidently laughed it off saying no harm done, he'd made many mistakes as a young military man, put in a good word for the pilot saying it is much ado about nothing (super cool of him to do so).
    Anyway that's a bit more information for whomever is interested. Here's a link to the story...

    I remember when I was in the Air Force I'd have to fly as a passenger in a C-141 Starlifter from Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma to Rhein-Mein, Germany, then down to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. A couple of times the air crew let me watch what the pilots were doing..I'd have to climb a little ladder and would stand behind the cockpit. While flying over the Atlantic(in the middle of a 10 hour flight) I was amazed how busy both pilots were. They had their flight plans and maps kind of like when we opened a map on a long road trip in our station wagon. They seemed to have a much tougher job than what I expected.
    I can't thank the air crew, crew chief, and pilots enough for doing such a great job, they always treated us passengers with such professionalism. I can see how pilots can land at the wrong airport near a military base, their job is way harder than it looks!

      @MsJoaniePH 8 лет назад +12

      +Brad Wake The C-17 can make a STOL take off in about 1200 ft with minimum fuel and no cargo. It is designed to land/take off on unimproved, minimally controlled airfields under 2500 ft. length -- with a load. The flaps behind the engines extend further, vectoring the thrust downward, creating a lot of extra lift.
      The statement that a jet that size can't take off from that short an airstrip does not hold true for the C-17. Peter O. Knight airport has a 3500 ft strip. About three times what it needs to rotate out at a good angle of climb -- unloaded.

    There was a similar problem when a Boeing 747-8F landed at a small airport, like this, about 10 miles from where it was supposed to go to.

    @AnasatisTiMiniatis 4 года назад +39

    Large USAF cargo planes, like the c-17 and c-5, often need longer runways because of the massive potential weight of their loads. For the same reason, they are also designed for insane amounts of lift.
    What that means is that these planes can take off after a disproportionally short distance if carrying minimal payload.
    The C-5 was even designed to be able to take off and land in rough and undersized forward air bases despite being the largest airplane for much of its service.

    • @alexburke1899
      @alexburke1899 Год назад +4

      I don’t think the C-17 can be fitted with JATO or RATO rockets for short field takeoffs like some earlier planes either, I assume because they designed it with so much lift and power to do short field landings and takeoffs it didn’t actually need them anymore. I’m always amazed when these planes fly above my house because they fly pretty low and slow compared to airliners giving the impression they are flying incredibly slow.
