Pretty easy to do as an airline pilot if you're not careful.

I live in a weird world where Georgia only has ATL, eastern FL only has DAB, FLL/MIA, and PBI, and west TX only has ELP.

So it's pretty easy when you're shooting the visual and there's an airport configured closely to the one you're supposed to be landing at and it's right there.

I'd challenge anyone to to shoot a 150 knot visual into TUS after a couple of vectors and see who tries to land at TUS and who tries to land at Davis-Monthan.

MikeD, you can't play!
