There are standard Airport Code Abbreviations.

:search: for Airport Code Abbreviations to see a list.

http://www.speedygrl.com/airport.html

For example: ACK is the airport code for Nantucket Airport.

I think these stickers started out as Country indentifiers (i.e DE = Germany).

Some stickers are made in the same format as the airport codes or country codes, but aren't real airport abreviation or county codes which further adds to the confusion. VT=Vermont, IIRC.

BI is one I see around here, and I thought it was some kinda rainbow bi-sexual thing until I remembered Block Island

I had never seen them until I moved to VA. My first thought was that it meant that the person who owned the car was an obstetrician. Then I started seeing them so much it was obvious that wasn't it.

That's weird. I've seen a lot of these around me too. Why would St. Louis people have this sticker?

I like this thread for some reason

Are you sure it's not TCB with a lighting bolt ??

Elvis came up with this one: "Take Care of Business; in a Flash."
