There's a thread today entitled "You Know You Are In The MFN When..." MFN is Milford Sound NZ, which looks pretty remote

MDT – Melt Down Town
(Harrisburg PA, near Three Mile Island)

why? let's make a new airport by merging numfoor, indonesia and bahrain international, bahrain and call it foo-bah ;)

OGG- Maui

Soon to be FYI too, I believe :)

It is somewhat remote, and it is also phenomenally beautiful. Actually, the drive there from reasonably well served ZQN isn't too horrible, though stopping in Te Anau on the way helps break things up and gets you to Milford earlier in the morning more easily.

I remember reading that a few months back, SUX tried to get that changed. FAA basically stonewalled 'em, so SUX it remains.

Whats funny about AOK :confused:

Maybe I just had too much turkey & can no longer laugh...

YUM = Yuma, Arizona... Not a very yummy place... ;)

SOW = Show Low, AZ

A-OK!

As in great or all set or ready to go. At least that's what I think it is supposed to be.

For us medical types, I like

DRT - Del Rio, Texas (Dead Right There, a more modern version of DOA)

:D
