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.
I want all letters I already have K58, Y83 (among others) Z98...which makes K the most elusivse in the CONUS.
