There is no way anyone who is paying attention could mistake OMN for DAB. One has a large airline terminal to the right (landing on 16)...the other does not. One has a LONG runway running left to right... the other does not. One has a large control tower in the middle of the field...the other does not. One says DAB on the MFD (if installed), the other does not.

When you have not flown into there frequently, or in the past 4 months, have flown into 200 different airports since then, last leg of a 5 leg day, add some bad weather, or it being at night - and those subtles can easily be missed.
