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.

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.

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.
