Your initials as an airport code
 

Do we have here on FT such a thread?

Have you ever wondered if your initials make up an airport code?


Mine is KID

(KID)
Kristianstad Arpt
Kristianstad, SE

I guess that's somewhere in Sweden ... been to Stcokholm twice (Stockholm Arlanda Airport - ARN) and drove through Malmo several times on the way to/from Copenhagen but never to Kristianstad.

What's yours?

I LIKE this....:D

My initials are DGB..

Which is Danger Bay, AK!!

58' 08" North.... Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...........:eek:

RMS

Ramstein Germany

Also root mean square (quadratic mean) for my fellow mathematicians. :cool:



Or Redundancy Management System (aka the US government :rolleyes:)

Apparently, I coincide with Bear Creek Airport (BCC) is scenic Bear Creek, AK. Ponderous...

Your initials as an airport code
 

This is a fun game - something I never thought to look up before.

SFA is Sfax El Maou Airport in Tunisia

Guess I'll never go there.

In my case:
CSS = Cassilanda, Brazil
AND
RCSS = Sungsham, Taiwan
(ICAO)

I don't have a middle name, but if I substitute an X I get AXD -

Dhmokritos Airport - Alexandroupolis, Greece

KMC--King Khalid Military City Airport

There is one over in OMNI, not sure why it ended up there:

Mine are for a small airport in Norway!

I actually get 2! AMG= AMG - IATA code for Amboin Airport, Amboin, Papua New Guinea & AMG - IATA code for Bacon County Airport, Alma, Georgia, United States

I was actually surprised, I thought that they had to be unique? Granted, neither airport is large enough to get confused with the other...

dab is me and i win daytona beach regional airport daytona beach, fl ;)

Hi,

Mine would be;

GAR= Garaina, Papua New Guinea

Regards

TBS

Rincon de los Sauces (RDS) Argentina - 9K+ ft. elevation

Apparently I've earned a lovely trip to Sheboygan, Wisconsin.

Porvenir, Chile (WPR) at the very bottom of the country

I would love a trip down there!

Laramie, Wyoming

:p

Andriamena, Madagascar.

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. :D

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

Till

Esmeraldas airport Ecuador, to which I haven't been

Or start with a Y when visiting Canada.

YAD

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.

GVA = Geneva, Switzerland

or my maiden name

GVL = Gainesville, GA

Mine is TRS -> Trieste, Italy. :cool:

Presuming you go by Liz or Lizzy, then LAW has an airport code.

"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

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....

Only my daughter-in-law has her own airport or heliport.

JBS - Hacienda Business Park Hlpt, Pleasanton, CA

My wife before we married was

PMC - Tepual Airport, Puerto Montt, CL

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!

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).

RBB - Borba airport Brazil. Now i want to go to Brazil

Mine is LKP = (LKP) Lake Placid Airport, NY, US

Hubby is JDP = (JDP) Heliport De Paris, FR

Doubt I'll ever get to mine: Djambala Airport, Congo.

Club Makokola, Malawi

CMK

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).
