Yep, a few of them don't seem to make sense at first, MCO is Orlando (McCormick AFB), BDL is Hartford (Bradley), SNA is Orange County (Santa Ana), BNA is Nashville, CVG is for Cincinatti, etc...

CVG

I know it is Cincinnatti. But that looks more like Covington.

The humor is that Cincinnatti's airport is in KY. :)

and Chicago O'Hare is ORD. But, that was derived from "Orchard Place", a small farming community near the airport when it was first built (and known as "Douglas Field").

MCO is Orlando (McCormick AFB)

Sorry, but OIA is MCO because it used to be McCoy AFB, named for an Air Force pilot who downed his disabled plane in an uninhabited area to avoid civilian deaths, sacrificing his own.

CVG is for Cincinatti,

I used to fly into ACV all the time... Eureka / Arcata airport. And my rental car company always had my car waiting, right on time, in Arcadia.

I did note the weather over the usual approach, and they probably are ducking it, but the planned route probably won't be exactly a piece of cake, either, 'cause it'll no doubt take them over Gorman where they're having their share of weather this evening.
