ORD = Orchard, the original name of the airport, before it was renamed for WW2 hero Butch O'Hare

CVG = Covington, the town in Kentucky in which CVG actually sits

MCI = similar to CVG: the airport is actually in Missouri City. and not so ironic about Sprint, since MCI and Sprint are one company now.
