Well, at least that’s how the venerable city fathers of Sioux City, Iowa used to feel about their airport’s FAA code, which is, yes, SUX.
But where once there were plans afoot to ditch the designation, now, Sioux Citians are embracing their inner SUX. The airport’s new marketing campaign calls for all things SUX. Just look at the airport’s official website, which has been renamed www.flysux.com; and now you can buy t-shirts and caps with the SUX logo.
We like this. We always suspected those corn-fed, friendly folks in Iowa had a pretty good sense of humor, because, face it, ya need one, living in Iowa. Or were we thinking of Idaho? Ah, whats the difference…
Anyway, it could have been worse for Sioux City; take a look at some of our other favorite airport codes:
- Altoona, PA (AOO) The sound passengers make after a near-collision.
- Eek, AK (EEK) Ratville.
- Fresno, CA (FAT) McDonald-land.
- Grand Rapids, MI (GRR) Home of the Angry Mid-Westerners.
- Point Lay, AK (PIZ) I dont think Sioux City would have traded for this one.
