So I'm sat around wasting my life perusing the interwebs (usually A.net and a select few other sites) and randomly wondered "I wonder if my initials are an IATA code?" Does this mean I have reached a new level of A.net geekdom... absolutely hehe. So do your initials form an IATA code?
Mine are CAJ which is Canaima, Venezuela, while my partner is KMH which is Kuruman, SA.
So how about yours? If you are fortunate enough to have 4 initials, do they form an ICAO code?

Yep, Ramagundam in India. Funny idea, never checked that before. I just know one professor of my university, which has his last name being the same as some waypoint over the Uraine. He keeps mentioning it whenever possible
