Narrative:

'Cleared to land 35R,' said tower. First officer making landing. Hazy night. Both saw runway. He was high but correcting nicely. G/south just wavered up and down. Both of us thought he was on false G/south. I was looking at radar planning route out to northeast. Storms along the path. After T/D I looked to the left and thought, 'there is something very wrong here!' instead of seeing a terminal, I saw parked military aircraft. 'Surely we're not at wrong airport,' I hoped. Looking to right, realized we had landed on 35L! (The ILS is on 35R.) sheepishly, I called tower on phone. 'Were we cleared to land?' I asked. He laughed and said, 'no problem,' but I wasn't laughing.
