I don't want to piggyback on to your thread, but the captain I was flying with last week and I were discussing this. Say it's 2 in the morning and you land at the wrong (uncontrolled) airport. Do you a) confess, call the nearest approach/center/flight service and then work out a new flight plan to your destination with dispatch or do you b) just firewall it and head off to the correct airport with nobody the wiser?
