Narrative:
On dec/tue/99, I flew ship #xyz to ord. I thought I had checked the paperwork carefully before, but I usually check the entire flight plan again in cruise. It was then I found ship #xzy listed on the flight plan. Apparently in the rush to push back I had transposed the numbers. In the future if the ship numbers are so close I suggest that one pilot read the ship number and the other pilot confirm that number.
