I noticed in the new New York Sectional (just came out a few days ago)
that the Smoketown, Pennsylvania (just east of Lancaster) has a new identifier, S37. Ok, identifiers change sometimes, but a few years ago Smoketown changed from 37PA to Q08, presumably in the effort to make public use airports 3 digits. Now it changed yet again...why? Was there a problem with Q08--perhaps being confused with somebody else in the area? (Most one letter- two number airport IDs in Pennsylvania/ NJ begin with N.) What's even stranger is that 37PA was subsequently used by a heliport (IIRC) and it is now the identifier for private use Roadcap Airport in western PA, which was previously known as 31N. 31N has not been reallocated as far as I can tell. So what's with the musical identifiers? A secret evil plot by the GPS database providers? |
