As we wave our respective willies on this thread, is anyone actually taking notes? 
Or indeed assessing significance?
Anyone flown scheduled further south than PSA?

in the 1970s UA operated a mainline FAT-MCD flight (56 miles apart by car) - the flight continued on to SFO. If (fading) memory serves, it used either a B-727 or B-720.
Not open to the public, but as a non-rev I took some EWR-LGA flights on CO. The "flight" was essentially a way to ferry an aircraft over to LGA so that it could operate a revenue flight.

MCD is Mackinac Island Airport
I am amazed at the short routes flown by United mainline aircraft not that long ago, before the infestation of the Barbies.

A couple others 'strange' at least for non-Argentinians may be
REL - FTE (Trelew, Chubut - El Calafate, Santa Cruz)
AEP - CRD (Aeroparque Jorge Newbery, Buenos Aires - Comodoro Rivadavia, Chubut)
RGL - AEP (Río Gallegos, Santa Cruz - Aeroparque Jorge Newbery, Buenos Aires)
Actually, when looking up the code for Río Gallegos, could not find it here and had to resort to good old Google!
And maybe not many of you have flown MAD-ALG... or maybe yes.
