There are still some, including Love Field, Meadows Field, and Eppley Airfield.

For a long time you could check in on Facebook at the Hartsfield Latoya Jackson Intergalactic Spaceport and Nail Emporium. Does that count?

Actually, just realized that right down the block from the ABQ Sunport is Roswell Air Center (ROW)!

EDIT: and before anyone corrects me, I am using "down the block" figuratively.

...but Love Field seems to really, really, really want people to refer to them as Dallas Love Field...

why only USA ?
[QUOTE=Got me thinking: are there any other airports in the U.S. that use alternative terminology? Could we compile a list? [/QUOTE]

Why is your list limited to USA? My PF is YXE (Diefenbaker)!

ps terminology was SIC. I corrected it above.
