"SEX" for Grumbach, Germany.
As in, "Heading for "SEX", after a weekend in Climax, Michigan."

Not MY real initials, of course, just those of a character I play on television, why not?:D

Have you ever wondered if your initials make up an airport code?
What's yours?
I just get a heliport in Los Angeles (JWC)..... Warner Business Plaza. At least I stand a chance of visiting next time I'm through LAX....

Wow, this is fun.

I was sure I would be someplace very exotic, like say Elkhart, IN :confused:

Guess I am just a midwest girl at heart!

I was actually surprised, I thought that they had to be unique? Granted, neither airport is large enough to get confused with the other...
Actually, Bacon County/Alma has no IATA code assigned, the ICAO code is KAMG, and the FAA Location ID is AMG. For most airports the FAA location ID is the same as the IATA code, but there are actually a few airports in the US that have an IATA code assigned that is different than the FAA Loaction ID, that can get a little confusing.

There are also cases where the ICAO code and IATA codes don't match up. Branson, MO is an example (IATA is BKG, ICAO is KBBG).

Mine is:

(RAD)
Road Town Arpt
Tortola Westend, Virgin Gorda



Regarding the order of the initials in the "monogram" ... it depends upon whether the monogram letters are the same size (same size = first, middle, last) or if the middle is bigger (first, last, middle).

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.
