Airport Codes in Posts

Hello. It would be nice if a mouseover popup with decoded airport name could be automatically incorporated in posts. For example, someone talks about their PDX-MSP-CLT trip, if I didn't know what airports those were, I would move my mouseover the 3 letter code and a small popup says "Portland" or "Minneapolis." It would have to identify three letter words in CAPS to trigger the link generation. This would save the 15-30 seconds it would take to open your favorite airport code database and search it in a different window...

Solution for Macs:
If you use Mac OS X Tiger (10.4), you can use the Dashboard widget [ttjoseph] wrote to quickly look up 3-letter airport codes and 2-letter airline codes:

Solution for PC's (Firefox):

You must have Greasemonkey installed first
