Narrative:

WX and flight briefing from duats; and web based sources were checked. After liftoff; I contacted tower; for transition sbound over I-15 corridor at 5500 ft MSL (1000 ft AGL); which was granted. Exiting the ogd airspace; I did not hear a 'handoff;' and there was a large military freighter approaching overhead. I changed to hill field AFB frequency at the usually appointed chkpoint; checked in; and received clearance to continue. ZLC picked me up on the south edge of hill AFB and I transitioned through to the south edge of slc class B airspace; where I was advised to change to advisory and continue own guidance VFR. I then picked up class D pvu tower; asked for and received a VFR transition to U77; with request to inform U77 in sight. There was no other traffic in the area. U77 is 4 NM south; just on the edge of pvu controled class D airspace. This was about XA10; because I asked the tower how long they would be open; and the reply was XB00. I advised pvu tower of changing to U77 CTAF; clicked the U77 CTAF for the lights; glanced down 3-4 seconds to adjust manifold pressure; RPM; gear and check lights; flaps and quick pre-landing check. When I looked up; I saw lights of the runway; set up a 45 degree entry into left downwind pattern; making announcements on the CTAF. Flaring for landing; in surprise; the runway numbers showed '13' rather than the expected '12!' too late for a go around; I landed and switched to pvu tower to announce landing on the wrong airport. They were just explaining to one other landing aircraft there was an unidented aircraft on runway 13; unknown intentions. I idented myself; and took the first left taxiway; and back to the takeoff end of runway 13. The controller seemed very kind to my apologizes; and said he had done such a thing himself; not to worry. Cleared to take off; I made the 4 NM hop from pvu runway 13 to U77 runway 12; in about 70 seconds. Embarrassed; but safe.

I THEN PICKED UP CLASS D PVU TWR; ASKED FOR AND RECEIVED A VFR TRANSITION TO U77; WITH REQUEST TO INFORM U77 IN SIGHT. THERE WAS NO OTHER TFC IN THE AREA. U77 IS 4 NM S; JUST ON THE EDGE OF PVU CTLED CLASS D AIRSPACE. THIS WAS ABOUT XA10; BECAUSE I ASKED THE TWR HOW LONG THEY WOULD BE OPEN; AND THE REPLY WAS XB00. I ADVISED PVU TWR OF CHANGING TO U77 CTAF; CLICKED THE U77 CTAF FOR THE LIGHTS; GLANCED DOWN 3-4 SECONDS TO ADJUST MANIFOLD PRESSURE; RPM; GEAR AND CHK LIGHTS; FLAPS AND QUICK PRE-LNDG CHK.
