Creative Flight Numbers
In IAH the other day I laughed out loud when I saw CO1492 IAH-CMH (Columbus). 
Any other creative CO numbers come to mind?

Hmmm... NW 1776 is DTW-PHL. I wonder if there's a pattern here?

Went to a comedy club in L.A. last night. This doesn't fit "tight" within this thread topic, but it is cute, so indulge me.....
The comic said:
If L.A.'s airport is "LAX", then is Tampa's airport known as "TAMPAX?"

in on the joke, not!
okay, for all your international brethren, why are the afore-going numbers so special? mind that there's a fair number of us not from US shores! having said that i got the columbus one!! (even if it was the vikings that found it first some 500 years earlier,but that's another thread....!!! )

)UA 500 ORD-IND- The Indy 500 is a popular auto race.
NW 777 MSP-LAS - 777 is a lucky number, and jackpot on a slot machine.
For the suggested numbers
1040 TAX -1040's are Tax forms
2001 ASO -2001 A Space Odessy is a movie
I personaly don't get 711 LAS

7 or 11 when thrown on the first roll of the dice in craps is a winner. LAS is Las Vegas.

CO 500 is IAH-IND as well.
Maybe the special flight numbers are incentive for Continental to keep mainline in these markets... COEX 2366 just doesn't have the same ring as "Now boarding Continental 1492 to Columbus"!
