XNA for Fayetteville/Northwest Arkansas isn't a good airport code. Neither is:
- BNA Nashville (not sure what the origin is, perhaps there's a town of Blair/Nashville)
- TYS in Knoxville must be someone's name. Perhaps Tyson?

Ones that I don't think were answered elsewhere:
XNA = (I swear!) Exciting New Airport
BNA = Berry Field Nashville
TYS = You are correct, the Tysons donated the land
