Shortly after 9:00 PM central time on Wednesday evening, a Boeing 747 DreamLifter landed at Colonel James Jabara Airport in Wichita, KS. Flight 4241 operated by Atlas Air from JFK was to have landed at McConnell Air Force Base but instead landed at the small public airport north/northeast of McConnell.

The problem is that the airport is much smaller than where the Dreamlifter typically lands.
