Another game I came up with, feel free to join in...

So, my girlfriend's cousin was traveling not too long ago, and would always use airport codes rather than city names. I told her that I had to commend her for that, being a former airline employee and all. After that, a few people said how many they knew (usually about 7). That made me wonder how many I could think of off the top of my head, so I came up with a list of the ones I know. No maps, no list of cities, nothing but the ol' noggin. It does help that I learned that one song that names all 50 states, so I was able to think of cities within each state, but that only covers so much. Worldwide, I managed to think of 195 airports. For those that care, they are: (highlight to see)

Anybody else want to take a crack at it? Only put the ones that you're 100% sure about. Again, honor system... no references or anything!

Have fun!

I think I got # 117--that's BOB, right?!!

I am such a technopeasant--I didn't get the part about highlighting--geez--my stoopid comment became stooopider

Brian, Brian, Brain, FSM- Regional, Fort Smith Ark, XNA-Northwest Arkansas Regional, you know those codes and don't know FAT? I find your whole list highly suspicous. http://www.nonrev.net/forums/style_e...DIR#>/wink.gif http://www.nonrev.net/forums/style_e...#>/biggrin.gif

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresno_Yosemi...nd_destinations <- No NWA in there, which is what I grew up on. I&#39;ll admit, I did recognize it after you mentioned it, but couldn&#39;t think of it on my own.

Oh, and for what it&#39;s worth, I did come up with a few others after this was posted, so I could have broken 200 if I wasn&#39;t a little burned out http://www.nonrev.net/forums/style_e...R#>/tongue.gif

To remember airport codes? That&#39;s like looking at license plates and memorizing numbers for me. Can you think of a better game? Like we say in maintenance. You don&#39;t have to memorize how to fix problems, but you do have to know where to go and look it up.
