And again, KDIA does not exist.
No, not anymore. If you review the thread you'll see it was I that pointed
that out.
Actually, in the thread people were describing DIA as indicating Denver
International Airport, which is an abbreviation based on the first letter of
each word. Not all abreviations need to have the blessing of ICAO, IATA, or
FAA. Harrisburg International Airport is routinely described as HIA, even by
its management and advertising http://flyhia.com even though its official
identifier is MDT or KMDT.
By the way, airlines and IATA use SCE as their identifier for KUNV.
University Park Airport, State College, Pennsylvania
SCE was a grass field where the airlines had DC-3 service years ago. It is
long closed.
