Some are made up of letters from the city name...
AVL = AsheViLle, NC
BGM = BinGhaMton, NY
GSP = Greenvile/SPartanburg, SC
GSO = GreenSborO, NC
(and don't confuse either of those with Greenville, NC which is PGV - stands for Pitt/GreenVille airport as it is in Pitt County).

MDT is like CVG - the airport is located in MiDdleTown, PA (but we all think of it as Harrisburg)

SWF stands for SteWart Field. Not sure how you remember that it's in Newburgh, NY - unless maybe you knew a Single White Female who lived there

A couple mnemonics I just came up with:
IPT - It's Pretty Tiny (Williamsport, PA)
ART - A Remote Terminal (Watertown, NY)

Based on the list of cities you posted I am guessing you work for US Airways??
if I can pass the city code test on Tuesday with 90% I will...haha get to do international after that, but theres not nearly as many.....
