Narrative:

A CRJ7 departed runway 1R on the SFO8 SID. When the aircraft began their right turn to the SID heading; I shipped them to norcal. When I went to clear the next arrival to land; I noticed the CRJ7 almost due eastbound about 2 miles north of final climbing out of 3;000 ft. This was not an issue for my arrivals. My local assist and I briefly discussed what could have taken place. Maybe norcal turned them early was our thought. About three hours later; a supervisor asked me if I remember anything unusual about this flight. I said they appeared to have eastbound outside of my airspace for some reason. The supervisor then explained that norcal had the pilot call; and found out they were flying the wrong SID. This is where it gets bizarre: the aircraft was filed; ksfo.DUMB6.lin... The aircraft was cleared; ksfo.SFO8.sfo.lin... I am curious how the pilot(s) got the plane to depart on a SID that does not connect with the runway used? The DUMB6 is only used for runways 10 and 19. The sfo 8 SID is only used for runways 1/28. Determine what anomaly took place to allow this to occur.

Title: SFO Controller described a confusing turn initiated by a SFO8 departure; later discovering the aircraft in question was flying the DUMB6 SID contrary to the clearance issued.

Narrative: A CRJ7 departed Runway 1R on the SFO8 SID. When the aircraft began their right turn to the SID heading; I shipped them to NorCal. When I went to clear the next arrival to land; I noticed the CRJ7 almost due eastbound about 2 miles north of final climbing out of 3;000 FT. This was not an issue for my arrivals. My Local Assist and I briefly discussed what could have taken place. Maybe NorCal turned them early was our thought. About three hours later; a Supervisor asked me if I remember anything unusual about this flight. I said they appeared to have eastbound outside of my airspace for some reason. The Supervisor then explained that NorCal had the pilot call; and found out they were flying the wrong SID. This is where it gets bizarre: The aircraft was filed; KSFO.DUMB6.LIN... The aircraft was cleared; KSFO.SFO8.SFO.LIN... I am curious how the pilot(s) got the plane to depart on a SID that does not connect with the runway used? The DUMB6 is only used for Runways 10 and 19. The SFO 8 SID is only used for Runways 1/28. Determine what anomaly took place to allow this to occur.
