Narrative:

I was being worked by fayetteville approach; was told pope AFB was at 12 O'clock position and 3 mi. We saw a military airport at 12 O'clock position and 3 mi; told fayetteville we had the airport in sight. They told us to call the tower. We did; and told the tower we were 2 mi; left base. Pope tower cleared us for landing and we landed. On rollout; we called pope tower again and asked about taxi instructions and were told by pope tower we landed at simmons aaf and to call simmons tower. We did and simmons tower cleared us for takeoff and through their class D airspace to pope. We took off and flew to pope; which was only a couple of mi away. It was a clear night; both airports have a military style rotating beacon (green; double white); both airports have western direction runways; etc. In the future I will put my GPS on a shorter range; versus the 40 mi range it was set on; and dial up the ILS frequency for the runway.
