Yes but they don't call them secretaries anymore. Now they are
admistrative assistants.

Is there an KMVY? I fly out of O61. There is no KO61, just O61. When I
file CANPASS into Canada I have to tell them I'm departing KSMF because
they can't access O61.


Is that oscar six one or zero six one?

At least make it the correct identifier, which is KMVY. There are
countries outside the US, believe it or not.


.....none of which are likely to serve as origin for anyone making a vfr
sunday morning breakfast flight. MVY will do just fine. Ease up there,
Herr Thomas. An ounce of pretension is worth a pound of manure.

I vaguely remember seeing some as a young man, but I thought all of
them had been purged from the workforce? Are there any companies that
still have dedicted clerical staff?


Ahem. That should read "dedicated clerical staff"... Dang fingers...


Blame it on your secretary.

In case you didn't look them up, MVY is Martha's Vinyard, an island off the
coast of Masssachusetts. ACK is Nantucket, another island off the coast of
Mass, right next to MVY. BID is Block Island, a third island, but part of
Rhode Island, not Massachusetts.


Interesting...MYV (or KMYV) is the airport identifier for Marysville,
CA...very close to my home airport. I'm thinking what the heck is Meg
Ryan doing hanging out in Marysville? :-)

Are you asking rethorically or do you want a quick educational session
in proper airport identifier usage as defined by ICAO and used
internationally, including local difference for the US?


I was just pointing out that not all US airports have "K" identifiers
available.

Robert,

Sorry, hadn't taken my pills before posting. You are right, of course -
and I've always wondered why they don't clean up the identifiers.

John,

Seems I sounded way more aggressive than I ever intended to. Sorry for
that.

none of which are likely to serve as origin for anyone making a vfr
sunday morning breakfast flight.


Well, if you're going to use your handheld VFR GPS on the flight,
you're gonna need the K.

My only brush with celebrity came at Sikorsky Mem'l in Bridgeport CT
when I worked there in operations. Christopher Walken flew out to his
house on Block Island (RI) in a chartered Seneca V.

If you thought he looked creepy on screen, you should see him in
person.
