Darn, looks like I'm staying home. EAW doesn't appear to belong to any airport. Maybe I should go build one and name it after myself.

Which convention are you guys using for the order of the initials?

Common sense would be to do for example John William Smith as JWS.

HOWEVER, the convention when having a three letter monogram/initials printed is to have first name, last name, middle initial. That would make it JSW.

Just saying this so you might get a second chance.

For me, TFR is Ramadan. Oops.
And TRF is Oslo, Norway.

I think I prefer the correct convention method.

Second question: Have you ever been to those (your) airports? I haven't.

Apparently my initials don't correspond to any airport, but my husband's correspond to Jabiru, Australia (an airstrip in Kakadu National Park). We just got back from Australia -- if only we'd known!

Not my initials, but along similar vein, we refer to our home as if it has an airport code. We live on Eaglebend Lane and refer to our house as EGB. That is not currently a designated airport code.

Some people name their house, we gave it an airport code

Looks like I'm on my way to Melbourne! ^

According to Wikipedia, Moorabbin (Harry Hawker) Airport (IATA: MBW, ICAO: YMMB) was named "Australian Regional Airport of the Year" for 2006.
