This has always been fun to watch.

How about people who have more nodes than local airports? Sometimes, using 
codes that mean something to you is a good thing (tm).

Also, you have those who use airport codes because they think it's the 
nearest airport, or don't care. For a while, GBLX had EWR (newark 
international airport) which was 15 miles from Newark, but only 1 mile 
from MMU (Morristorn Mun Airport).
