"Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in message link.net... Three-letter identifiers are assigned to navaids; to airports with a manned air traffic control facility or navigational aid within airport boundary; to airports that receive scheduled route air carrier or military airlift service, and to airports designated by the U.S. Customs Service as Airports of Entry. KWAY meets none of these requirements. As far as I know it never met the requirements although I cannot say that with certainty. Why does it have a 3-letter identifier? -------------------- Richard Kaplan, CFII www.flyimc.com

Why does it have a 3-letter identifier? We discussed that one some time ago. I can find no reason for that airport to ever have a 3-letter identifier. Today, the FAA does not assign any 3-letter identifiers beginning with K, N, Q, W, Y, or Z. An identifier beginning with W would be assigned only by the FCC. Anything in the local history about a commercial broadcast station using those letters?

Interesting question but I am not aware of any such history. -------------------- Richard Kaplan, CFII www.flyimc.com
