DIA = Denver International Airport


Denver International Airport is DEN, DIA is not a valid location identifier
in the US.

Did someone say it was?


Yes.

Not necessarily, Steven. Blanche Cohen wrote "I've never seen any TSA
person
smiling at DIA." That usage certainly would be taken by anyone in this
group as
an airport ID, but she has not responded to your question as to what she
actually
meant. It's possible that she did mean Denver.

DIA was the identifier for Denver International Airport while Stapleton was
still in operation. After operations shifted to the new airport and
Stapleton was closed Denver International became DEN.

Anyone who is anywhere near Denver knows exactly what is meant by DIA.
DIA is still used on a daily basis by all media outlets when referring
to Denver Int'l Airport for any reason. Anyone outside the region may
be confused.

Great discoveries are not announced with "Eureka!". What's usually said is
"Hummmmm... That's interesting...."

DIA = Denver International Airport

And now for several variations...

DIA = Denver's Imaginary Airport

Mayor "Fed" only imagined Denver needed a new airport... it didn't and
doesn't Stapleton was one of the best airport around for getting into
town, from parking to the gate, from the gate to parking... 3 miles
from downtown Denver. However, Mayor "Fed" got his federal job
at DOT, so DIA did some good... it got "Fed" out of Denver!

DIA = "Done in August... no, Done in April, no Done in August",
as the delays went on and on...

Even so, before DIA officially opened, we had a General Aviation
fly-in... and I have a picture of my airplane at the jetway for gate
"B37". :-) The universal comment from the GA pilots was "Lets do
this again next weekend"!

Great. So MLenoch didn't say "DIA is the airport identifier for Denver."
Then who did?


Who said that anyone said "DIA is the airport identifier for Denver."?

You didn't say that literally. But your reply to MLenoch's post clearly
implied that exact statement.

Not that you'll admit it at this point, since you'd have to admit to be
wrong and we know you never do that.

Just as MLenoch's post didn't say DIA was the identifier for Denver
International Airport but clearly implied it.

Never is a long time. I have admitted I was wrong in these forums, I rarely
admit I'm wrong simply because I have to be wrong first.

Remember typing this, Steven?
