I missed something in my original email I see. In addition, any airport
codes that are 3 characters long would be assigned to the USA. I think we
use 4 character ICAO codes for everything outside the USA. On the other
hand, this assumes that the USA is the only country that doesn't use leading
zeros on the runways which I doubt is the case.
