Q08 old identifier for Smoketown, Pa. Changed several years ago. We had to start hiding even then, apparently. Had to do with the addition of the Q-routes, If I recall correctly.

I win.:D

Ahhh...Regina in the fall...-25's nothin'. I remember a New Year's Eve in Regina going to the store, buying a bag of BBQ briquettes to thaw my engine block out because some jackass stole my cord in the hotel parking lot.:incazzato:

I've been in and out of CYEG at -45C.

Layers...it's all about layers, and lots of them...when I got to my car every morning my hair was crunchy because it froze in the walk from the front door to the street. Brrrrr
 
Great job guys! Now, numbers 0-9. Anyone been to an airport starting with 0?

That looks like it's next to a huge racetrack... I'll bet your AP is busy on race days with pilots going to watch the action!

Yep. It's across the road from the Atlanta Motor Speedway - two NASCAR races per year. Unfortunately (fortunately?) I haven't been in town for a race yet - out of town for business in March and flew to Iowa for Labor day. When we left two days before the race on Labor Day, we taxiied by a ramp full of private jets with racers' names painted on the tails. Sleepy little airport until race weekend when landing fee goes up to $100.

Yes I think q is going to be the sticker.[

According to world-airport-codes.com...There are no public use airports in the US that the identifier starts with Q.

Well, I went looking for the same info in the same place - There are several Q's in the US on that site, but most of them are "Van Service" or somesuch.

I did find two that I can't figure out: QNY and QWG. If you punch them into AirNav, they come up as 6N7 and 8A6, respectively. I'm not sure how that works, and there is no mention of those ID's on the site, but clearly somehow they're able to look things up based on those ID's. :dunno:

I think I gotta go find the N, K, Y and Z so I can have all lettered IDs in my list.

According to the FAA 5010 data
There are actually 5 public use KZ** airports in CONUS
ZEF ELKIN MUNI ELKIN NC
ZER SCHUYLKILL COUNTY /JOE ZERBEY/ POTTSVILLE PA
ZPH ZEPHYRHILLS MUNI ZEPHYRHILLS FL
ZUN BLACK ROCK ZUNI PUEBLO NM

X airports aren't that plentiful either
XBP BRIDGEPORT MUNI BRIDGEPORT TX
XFL FLAGLER COUNTY PALM COAST FL
XLL ALLENTOWN QUEEN CITY MUNI ALLENTOWN PA
XNA NORTHWEST ARKANSAS RGNL FAYETTEVILLE/SPRINGDALE/ AR
XSA TAPPAHANNOCK-ESSEX COUNTY TAPPAHANNOCK VA
XVG LONGVILLE MUNI LONGVILLE MN

Y's are the least plentiful:
YIP WILLOW RUN DETROIT MI
YKM YAKIMA AIR TERMINAL/MCALLISTER FIELD YAKIMA WA
YKN CHAN GURNEY MUNI YANKTON SD
YNG YOUNGSTOWN-WARREN RGNL YOUNGSTOWN/WARREN OH

It appears the KN** are all military use with the exceptions of:
NEW LAKEFRONT NEW ORLEANS LA
NQA MILLINGTON RGNL JETPORT MILLINGTON TN
NRN NORTON MUNI NORTON KS
NVD NEVADA MUNI NEVADA MO
NYL YUMA MCAS/YUMA INTL YUMA AZ

For those three letters, all of the airports I've landed at have numbers in 'em. K52, X39, Y50, etc. So, you might not have to go too far - There are some Y## ones in WI. The K's are in (and presumably around) Missouri. X39 is North Tampa so that might be a good spring break trip to collect some X's. ;)

Something that I learned a couple of years ago: Most of the ID's that are one letter and two numbers, the letters denote what ARTCC's airspace you're in. For example, there are LOTS of airports around here that are C##, #C#, or ##C - All in Chicago Center airspace. Y is Minneapolis Center, I think K is Kansas City, etc. I believe some centers have 2 letters.
