I always thought it was nice when the airport would paint their name on
either
the ramp, or on a hanger's roof. One of the funnier ones though is DEC,
Decatur, IL. On their ramp, in 10 foot letters they wrote "DECATUR, IL"
now, it
was nice to know I was near Decatur, but you have to be REALLY lost if you
don't
know what STATE you're in, or if you mistake it for, say Decatur, AL.

I occasionally listen on my scanner to the local airport Unicom and have
heard "St James Minnesota traffic...etc.... St James, MN traffic"... Must
be an Iowan. ;-)
