Narrative:
On may/xx/98 at XA18 local, flight xyz blocked out and departed for YYY. Upon arrival at YYY, the captain determined that we had left with an open write-up in the logbook. The crew oxygen gauge was placarded inoperative and required oxygen verification and signoff prior to each departure. In YYY a mechanic was summoned to fulfill the required check and document the work. Inadvertently, he marked through the ZZZ departure block (the open write-up) and placed YYY in its place, thereby showing a completed action from an incorrect airport.
