Airport Codes

Ever get confused by three-letter airport codes? Some of them make sense, but others are a bit more arcane. The site Airport Codes: The ABC’s: A History and Explanation does a nice job of explaining some of the more popular codes and the history behind them. A quick Google search for a more comprehensive list resulted in a site entitled World Airport Codes. This is a very thorough site, allowing you to search not only by airport code, country, and airport, but also each airport entry contains a summary of very useful data, including runway length, longtitude and latitude, and elevation. Pretty cool stuff for us aviation geeks…
