I think that is a good advice to all airplanepilots all around the world. :-)

And that can also go for passengers. I heard about a guy who ended up in Sidney, Canada. He found no wallabi's there.

Back in Sault Ste Marie we would often get pilots reporting final for RWY 30 when they were lined up for RWY 32 at Sault Michigan’s Sanderson airport Once in a while they get antsy for clearance (saying “short final” Uhhh … what number is on the runway in front of you? Roger tower … going around

Yeah that airport combination is kind of famous. Quickest way to land in the wrong country.

U.S. CBP never took kindly to those “mistakes” They usually gave any schmucks that actually did land a thorough going-over
