Narrative:

I was flying to kokomo airport. About 25 mi from grissom AFB, I thought I had kokomo in sight. I, therefore, canceled flight following with fort wayne. I then made the proper radio calls and proceeded to the airport I thought ws kokomo. I made the calls on the kokomo CTAF. I landed at the AFB then made a left turn to leave the area. While trying to re-establish our course, we realized we were west of it. After we got established on course and altitude, we contacted approach. After contacting fort wayne approach, they informed us of the unauthorized touch-and-go at grissom AFB. After fort wayne talked to grissom, they contacted us to let us know that they did not need my name -- they were just going to report the event to my flight school.
