Didn't it used to be MCO?

Orlando International Airport is MCO.

Folks call it OIA, instead of MCO. Not that many people know that OIA was originally a Strategic Air Command facility named McCoy Air Force Base. The nuke bunkers are still in place at the very south end of the old runways.

They have a BUFF on static display at the north entrance of the airport, in all it’s Vietnam camo glory.

Sorry this is getting back to you late.
Had to meet Mrs. Jazzy for dinner.
