Thanks to all who've helped me understand the orign of the letters in
QNH, QFE, QNE, QUH, WTF...etc...

One of my aerospace co-workers (and a fellow Flight Test Engineer) was
musing aloud one day: "We all know what it MEANS, but what do the
letters STAND for??? Where did they come from?" As if QNH stood for
"Quintesstial Normalized Height," and QFE stood for "Quiet Field
Elevation," or ???

I tried to warn him that it was foolish to try and make sense out of
any three letters...take "FAA," for example... ;-)

Regards,
