pilot friend of mine was telling me it was not uncommon for pilot
unfamiliar with the area to land at the wrong airport!

My CFII set me up for this during my training (though I no longer recall
the details). It was good awareness practice: know where the airport is
supposed to be.


I noticed lat Sunday that KHFD (Brainard - Hartford, CT) is again
broadcasting an ATIS warning about a nearby closed field, Renschler
Field.

From the air, the closed field is much more noticeable than Brainard.

Did somebody try to land at Renschler again? G

Here's an overhead shot:

Brainard is on the left, Renschler is on the right.
