THE PLT OF A CIVIL AIR PATROL C182RG LANDS ON THE WRONG RWY AT JFK; NY.

Narrative

I WAS PLTING A MIL C182RG; TRANSPORTING MEDICAL SUPPLIES FROM HANSCOM FIELD BEDFORD; MA (KBED; TO NEW YORK; JFK; SOMETIME AFTER THE ATTACK ON THE WORLD TRADE CENTER. WE WERE TOLD WE WOULD DO AN ILS TO RWY 31L BY ATC; BUT AS WE APCHED THE ARPT ON A R BASE TO 31R; WE WERE INSTRUCTED TO MAKE A VISUAL APCH AND ASKED IF WE COULD SEE THE ARPT. APPROX 3 TO 5 MI AHEAD AT APPROX 2 O'CLOCK; WE SAW THE RWY WITH THE STROBE APCH LIGHTS LEADING TO THE RWY. WE TURNED TO THE RWY AND DESCENDED TO LAND. AS WE CROSSED THE NUMBERS; WE SAW THAT WE WERE LANDING 31R NOT 31L. I STARTED TO GAR; BUT MY CO-PLT; A CFII SHOUTED; 'PUT IT ON THE GND; LAND!' I PROCEEDED TO LAND RW 31R. SINCE I WAS PIC; I SHOULD HAVE INITIATED A GAR; AND NOT BEEN INTIMIDATED BY MY CFII CO-PLT. OTHER FACTORS: THE TWR AT JFK HAD BEEN ABANDONED BECAUSE OF THE TERRORIST THREAT AND WERE CONTROLLING FROM VEHICLES ON THE GND AND LIKELY WOULD HAVE ADVISED US OF OUR APCH TO THE WRONG RWY HAD THEY BEEN CTLING FROM THE TWR. CORRECTIVE ACTION: FOLLOW THE RULES AND EXECUTE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PIC. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF RWY LIGHTS ON 31L THAT EITHER I OR MY CO-PLT COULD SEE!
