My friend Mark reminded me that I have my own airline, Air Manilla International. Never mind that it’s out of business! He also reminded me that I have my own airline code: AMI stands for Mataram, Indonesia.
Aparently there are more than 9,000 airport codes. If you want to look up your initials and see where YOUR airport is, try http://www.world-airport-codes.com/ and type your name in the blue shaded box. The next challenge is to somehow work that into a conversation.
What fun! I found “my” airport — it’s Stewart, Connecticut. Unfortunately, it isn’t very close to where I live (NV), but it’s nice to know that it’s out there. ;)

Stewart is actually in Newburgh, NY. It used to be an AF base.
I’m Kawthaung Airport, Myanmar. Now to remember what Myanmar used to be when I was in school — Burma, then Thailand?

I’m also two radio stations: KLRM in San Luis Obispo and WLRM in Tennesee.
AMI, you’re not a radio/TV station, sorry. But you have the consolation of having your own airline even if is is defunct.

I’m the mysterious Lost Harbor Sea Port (LHB).
It’s waaaaaaay in the middle of the Bering Sea…almost in Russia. I would love to visit!!!!
Somehow I’m guessing there’s no Starbucks or Hudson Newsstand in the terminal. For that matter, I think it’s a safe bet there’s no terminal.
