Los
Angeles International is LAX.
JFK Airport New York is JFK....
Sioux
Gateway Airport's identifier is SUX (presumably the person or committee who gave
it to them in the first place didn't like them very much).
Certainly
someone in the Federal Aviation Administration is having a laugh as they one time
offered to change the identifier to GAY, according to website WRAL.com.
In
fact the FAA have offered five other identifiers in total:
- GWU,
- GYO,
- GYT,
- SGV
- and
GAY
But
despite petitions to change the name from SUX in 1988 and 2002, the airport has
now decided to keep the name and a marketing campaign with Fly SUX on T-shirts
have been printed...

We
suppose there isn't an airport with the FUX identifier...
