Why wouldn't Portland, ME have an international airport? It's a neat
little
city and an IA isn't much of a distinguishing factor, since all it
requires is
flights coming in and going out to a foreign country. Canadian planes are
a
hop, skip and plop from Maine.

Ouch.

Sorry, Charlie. (Gawd, that sounds like a tuna commercial.)

PDX is the designation for Portland International Airport which was my
reference, and really only meant that there would not be two PDX
designations.

I am, however, surprised to learn that Portland, Maine, has a designated
international airport. What is its airport designation (as SEA for
Sea/Tac in Seattle, Washington; PDX for Portland, Oregon, LAX for Los
Angeles [also international designated], etc.)? I guess I think of the
area as being more rural; read too many old novels about the beauty of the
Maine countryside perhaps.

Perhaps the international designations were made in a time when Portland,
Maine, was smaller. I don't happen to have any of my ex's Jepson Manuals
to look at, or not that I could find if I do have them packed in a box
somewhere that has been unopened for 20+ years. (That '71 Chev is going
to be making many trips to the dump come summer!)
