Don't think I will make mine : Kiffa, Mauritania
KFA

Mine are BHM - Birmingham, AL

CDG, Charles de Gaulle in France. Been there :)

The "add a Y to initials" idea is brilliant.

Now we have three methods:

1. John William Smith > JWS
2. John William Smith > JSW
3. John Smith in Canada > YJS

To the great dismay of our example John, he has no airport under any of these methods.

I just found out that YTR is Trenton, Ontario, Canada.

So now I got Trenton, Ramadan and Oslo.

Here's an exotic one:

CMK = Club Makokola, Malawi

http://gc.kls2.com/airport/CMK

Maybe I can meet you in BSB, Brasilia, BR. :)

I think it may be easier for me to just drive from Canberra to Sydney... But Brazil does sound nice.

Under the Canadian "rule" I get YDB..

Burwash Landings.. even further North at 61'....:eek:

At least that one has a runway length listed (6000ft which seems respectable)

Seems I am fated to "be" isolated airfields with no commercial service! :D

CEI = Chiang Rai, Thailand

apparently in the far north. Maybe one day.

SJP - Sao Jose Do Rio Preto, Brazil

Always meant to go to Brazil, and never made it. Maybe this is my excuse ;)

Yay!
Monte Carlo for me! (MCM)

Hmm, Mullen, NE (population: 490) is apparently the only remaining town in Hooker County. I suspect MHN is a general aviation airport, so not one I'm likely to be heading to.

JMB - Jamba, Angola. Interestingly enough it is located almost exactly in a straight line south of my home town. NRK is at 16:15 E (58:35 N), JMB is at 16:02 E (14:41 S). Check it out on GCM: http://gc.kls2.com/cgi-bin/gc?PATH=N...avy&MAP-STYLE=

SKB = St. Kitts

Never been but sounds like a fine idea, especially now that the temps are dropping!

SJO - San Jose, Costa Rica. :)

I have four initials :(

Brilliant idea. Looks like I have an excuse to visit faraway, exotic Oklahoma now. :p

Hopefully, I won't be visiting IRB IRAAN Texas anytime soon,,,,,

Surface: asphalt, in poor condition
NUMEROUS CRACKS AND LOOSE GRAVEL

KEJ...

Kemerovo International Airport (Russia).

DHM

Gaggal Airport (DHM) India

It's someplace in the far north of India near Pathankot.

Doubtful I'll ever visit...

http://www.world-airport-codes.com/i...port-1911.html

TPH = Tonopah Airport, Nevada.

Never been there, never will! (No offence to any Tonopah residents :)

or under Canadian Rules

YTH - Thompson Airport, Manitoba (See above!)

Trevor John, airport section TJ - Puerto Rico

SLK Adirondack

Well, unless your initials begin with I, J or X you stand a chance of being able to match up with an ICAO Code, give that a try!

This is fun; I got an airport I didn't even know existed. :cool:

JCH - Qasigiannguit, Greenland

Wikipedia tells me that the aiport is serviced by Air Greenland (which I also didn't know existed) and the town which shares the same name, has fewer than 2000 residents.

I remember one of the first times I flew JFK-NRT, while flying over northern Canada I saw many little towns with airstrips but no visible roads, I'm assuming they got everything by air.

Fun...but I doubt that I (or anyone else on this board) will ever ever go to Kabri Dar, Ethiopia (ABK)!

I actually flew out of JCH - it was about 10 years ago now - in a Sikorsky helicopter on Groenlandsfly (as Air Greenland was at the time). The S.25 is the biggest thing that could land there, and does bring in supplies during the winter. In the summer, there are regular ferries up and down the coast - in particular to the larger towns of Ilulissat and Aasiaat (both of which boast sizeable fish processing plants).

Qasigiannguit is a very pretty little town - the name is West Greenlandic for 'small spotted seals', and they're there in abundance. It's a great spot for walking, and the town itself has some pretty spots.

Mine is Salina, Kansas.

Thanks for posting the pics. :) Since it's very unlikely I'll have the opportunity to visit Greenland (let alone Qasigiannguit itself,) at least I have a hint of what I'm missing.

Ooooo, Pittsburg, KS home of Atkinson Municipal Airport. PTS

THI: Tichitt, Mauritania

According to Wikipedia: "Tichit is a partly abandoned small town at the foot of the Tagant plateau in central/south Mauritania."

Mine is the home of Airbus..... pretty cool, eh? I've been there, though not to the airport, and I also missed the tour of the facility!

My wife's is Alamosa, Colorado. Only a couple hours away from us. I think the only flights out of there are to / from DEN on Great Lakes, so it's not likely will fly in / out of there!

And yes, I actually knew this stuff *before* this thread. I'm a geek.

Hi all, am new to this forum, but thought if no-one minded i would join in :)

Mine is CJB - COIMBATORE in INDIA !!

Interesting, Never been to India, may have to plan a trip!! :P
