Sioux Gateway Airport does not have a flattering airport abbreviation (Heh heh, Heh heh, Heh heh)

If fact - it SUX (read story (http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20071023.wa2airports23/BNStory/Front/home))

After fighting for years to change it, they are embracing it, even selling caps and T-shirts > www.flysux.com (http://www.flysux.com)

There's an instrumental song by the power trio Rush, from Toronto, called YYZ. The band thought YYZ was an odd choice of code for Toronto's international airport, so naturally wrote a song about it. The first several bars of the song repeatedly spell out YYZ in Morse Code.

For those of you who play video games, it's in the game "Guitar Hero 2". :D And for even more randomness, there's an intersection of two county roads "Y" and "YZ" near here which made for an amusing photograph.
