Well... they could re-name IAD for AOL... (Sacrilege!)

Here's a bit of useless trivia: what is the other official name for Miami International Airport (MIA)? Wilcox Field. (You have to really look for the sign -- it's right next to the sign on the main terminal building.)

The old code for Baltimore's old Friendship airport probably was BAL, though I'm not sure about that.
