I was flying into a small uncontrolled Army Air Field Near Boston many many years ago... we had to shoot this vor approach to get in.... ON the final approach dourse several miles short of the AAF is another smallish muni airport with the same runway layout... we even commented that night as we were shooting the approach that it would be possible to screw that up if you didnt keep good SA. Low and behold in the ops building at said AAF there was a notice on a board there with a notice about the similiar looking airfield. The ops guy told us ( this was 1988 ) that several years earlier a 130 crew had indeed landed there then took off and came on over. I have no idea what the result of all that was but it probably wasnt not good.
