Airport Codes

I did some research, and stumbled across a few lists of hilarious airport codes. An airport code is a three-letter code that is used in passenger reservation, ticketing and baggage-handling system (basically the shortened name of the airport that you are flying into/out of). 
Some personal favorites:
SUX - Sioux City, Iowa
PEE - Bolshoye Savino Airport, Russia
POO - Poco De Caldas Airport, Brazil 
AOK - Karpathos, Greece
BAD - Barksdale Air Force Base, Lousiana 
BOO - Bodo Airport, Norway
DIK - Dickinson Airport, USA
KOK - Kokkola/Pietarsaari Kruunupyy Airport, Finland
BUM - Butler Airport, USA
SEX - Sembach Airport, Germany
EAT - Wenatchee Airport, USA
FAT - Fresno Yosemite Airport, USA
CAT - Cat Island Airport, Bahamas
DOG - Dongola Airport, Qatar

And this list below was a list that I found as I was researching the airport codes, and I thought it was too funny not to share :)
