Airport three letter codes.
June 29, 2021 at 10:06 pm
Many are familiar with codes like "JFK" or " DFW" , but did you know that there are airport codes for "OLD" and "OUT".
What are some of the more funny three letter airport codes you have run into?

Fresno, CA = FAT
Bolshoye Savino Airport, Russia = PEE
