I remember filing my Jeppesen revisions many years ago, over
a period of about 8 weeks, the City of St. Louis renamed the
Lambert Airport every week, I guess it was to celebrate
something. First it was Lambert Field, Then it was St.
Louis Lambert Airport, then it was St. Louis Lambert
International Airport, then they began again. This required
that every approach chart and procedure be re-issued. It was
a pain in the neck because some local politician was
exercising their right to name the airport.

| Well, I can tell you that when I was up there in Alaska
(and the last
| time was 4 years ago, so things have changed), the id my
GPS used
| (which was ICAO, and the id that FSS used were
different. And if you
| looked in the AFD, there were TWO different ids (NONE
with the ICAO
| prefix) in the AFD). What a mess!!!!! I am sure they are
working it out
| (I assume they are migrating to ICAO) but I don't have
the lastest.

| That's odd, I have a 15 year old Alaska A/FD and all the
airports that have
| two identifiers have the proper 3-letter and ICAO
identifiers.
