When I first came to America I bought an airline ticket out of New York because it was so cheap. Turned out I had incorrectly agreed to go to Dulles, not Dallas.

That's when I learned to call it DFW.


Perhaps I shouldn't mention the time I headed for the wrong airport only to be told of my mistake at which point I found the right airport and made an approach to the wrong runway!

That's when I learned to back the approach up with the ILS.



I'd say it's surprisingly easy to get it wrong.
