Henderson Field is now renamed to Honiara international airport. But
to many, it will always be Henderson Field.

Happens all of the time.

There are still reminders, though. Orlando International is MCO, from
the days when it was McCoy Field.

When was it McCoy Field? It was named McCoy AFB on May 7, 1958. It was
previously known as Pinecastle AFB and Pinecastle Army Airfield before that.

Incidentally, a great little facility for finding ICAO idents for

It must be true...Australian Broadcasting says so, so who are we mortals
to argue?
However, I am summat confused, considering the Sol Islands' PM statement
of August 20, saying that the name Henderson will be retained. His letter
