Narrative:

Arriving at dayton, approach gave us a heading of 160 degrees, altitude of 3000 ft, cleared ILS approach to what we thought we heard as runway 24. When checking in with tower the call was cleared for right base for ILS runway 24R. Tower responded, cleared to land. Approaching the localizer for runway 24L, tower informed us that we were off the localizer. We responded that we had not yet intercepted the localizer. Tower responded that his reference was to runway 18, but to continue and cleared to land runway 24. No traffic conflicts were encountered.
