Delta landing at wrong airport sparks govt safety review

The NTSB is investigating a Delta Air Lines flight that mistakenly landed at a South Dakota Air Force base, about 12 miles from its intended destination. Delta Flight 2845 departed from the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport Thursday evening en route to Rapid City, South Dakota, carrying 130 passengers on an Airbus A320 jet. The crew instead landed the plane at Ellsworth Air Force Base, located north of Rapid City Regional Airport. The aircraft landed safely, Delta said. The NTSB said it is investigating the incident. Delta is cooperating with the govt’s probe and is conducting its own, the airline said. The flight crew has been taken off duty during the review <br/>
