Sometimes I miss the exit
Driving around the beltway surrounding our nation's capitol I sometimes get lost in thought and drive right passed my exit.
That's a bit different then missing the exit for an entire State though when you are driving an airplane.
Actually, I think its funny (disclaimer: glad the plane landed safely, didn't run out of gas, and didn't end up in Canada), because you can just imagine the crew wondering how that were going to explain this fuck up to the boss.

LT will claim the pilots only earned minimum wage, thus the cause.
I've been to Landover before and had to ride that "beltway".

There's always another exit. |

I spent my youth on that damned beltway.

The whole story is kinda funny. I'm sure the passengers don't find it funny and right now the pilots are wondering if they'll ever fly again but still, they missed the fucking airport. How can you do that even in your sleep?

In all fairness, it's probably hard to see that tiny airport from 35,000 feet.  |

Doesn't the autopilot set off an alarm? I always thought it did. And how can two pilots make the same fuck up? It's a really weird story. I can't wait to find out what actually happened.

Didn't the Stewardess knock on the door and say, "Ummm, excuse me Captain, but we were supposed to land an hour ago." |

Maybe both pilots were enjoying the stewardess. I don't know. It's all kinds of fucked up. Funny though.

The TV news just showed some video clips and a map showing the route he had taken.

Your average Boeing 737-300 passenger airliner will travel at around 500MPH at cruising altitude.

Wouldn't take too long to clip 150 miles, maybe a quick nod. I drove around the Washington belt way once and never figured how I did it.
Aren't there more than pilot and co-pilot in the cabin? like Navigator or something? Just wondering? |

Something similar to this happened many years ago in Wyoming.
A Frontier Airlines (I believe) 737 headed for the commercial airport in Sheridan, WY landed short -- about 60 miles short -- at a general aviation airport in Buffalo, WY. You can look on Mapquest and see how the two runways are on almost the exact same compass heading. Still..... 
Passengers completed their travel by bus.
Frontier brought in a new crew to get the plane airborne (no small feat itself) off the teeny, tiny runway in Buffalo. Gee, I wonder why? |

Not yet. I'm thinking about a Vicodin. It was healing up pretty well and I may have stopped the application of the Silvadene ointment too soon. I'm getting back on that wagon, pronto.
I also discovered on the internet that the Hydogen Peroxide I was applying as an antiseptic was not a good idea on open, draining wounds. The HP had been my idea. The doc never mentioned it. I guess I now know why.  |

The real reason the plane overshot the runway:
They thought Minnesota was a flyover state.
