There is ORD for O'Hare and MDW for Midway...no CHI...(spoken as a former resident of Illinois). |

...Because O'Hare was built on the site of an orchard. Orchard => ORD. |

CHI has two radio designations, both Chillicothe: WCHI is in Chillicothe, Ohio. KCHI is in Chillicothe, Missouri. |

The bad part is, I should have known better. Anyway, I hope everyone found atleast a little humor in that you can go to GNU. |

Um, so where's WTF? |

There is no WTF sadly. You can look through the following for any other good abbreviations. http://www.airportguide.com/ |

WTH? FWIW, AFAIC TLAs and ETLAs are NBD. IITYWIMWYBMAD |
