Why do 4-letter airport identifiers on the US mainland start with a K, and in Alaska and Hawaii with a P?
Q. Hello, This may not be the most important issue of all time, but I am just curious. All major airports have a 3-letter FAA / IATA code, and a 4-letter ICAO code. In the U.S., this ICAO code is simply the FAA code preceded by a K. Except in Alaska and Hawaii, the 4-letter code starts with a P. Why is that? About France: The 3-letter IATA code is more or less random, depending on the name of the field. Paris Charles de Gaulle is therefore simply CDG. All 4-letter codes in France start with LF. Charles de Gaulle is LFPG. There is no connection between the 3-letter code and the 4-letter code. If P stands for Pacific, then why don't Washington, Oregon and California have P's? And what does the K mean? Kontinental? =D Okay, some European… [cont.]

A. First off, Alaska has never been part of France... The territory was purchased from Russia in 1867. The 4-letter ICAO idents for the contiguous states do, as you noted, just pust a "K" in front of the domestic 3-letter identifier. I don't know why this wasn't done for Alaska or Hawaii. Perhaps our further west location just made it easier to lump us in with the "Pacific" area, so both Alaskan and Hawaiian ICAO idents start with "P." Alaskan locations are then further identified with an "A" and Hawaiian locations with an "H." Then the first two letters of the domestic location ID are used as the last two letters of the international ID. So Fairbanks (FAI) becomes "PAFA" and Molokai(MKK) becomes "PHMK." In some cases--such as… [cont.]

What are some skits that 4 people can do for fun?
Q. I am so bored. I was planning on writing a skit, but that would take too long. Are there any websites that have scripts for skits? The only thing is it's just 4 people. I need it to be 3 - 4 people skits.

If you have 4 kids can your husband husband claim two and wife claims the other two kids?
Q. You file texes seperate but you are married to one another and live in a cando you own and both work. Will you both get 2,500 for each kid? So a total of $10,000. Can you do that? Or do you only get $2,500 per kid only two kids max? Someone told me you only can claim two kid max on taxes even if you have 4 kids, is that true?

A. OK-you have a lot of misinformation. You can claim as many kids as qualify 2,4 or 12. Who said you get $2500 per kid? There are so many variables, exemptions, child tax credit, Earned Income Credit. Some credits require you to file jointly some are available to those filing separate. I strongly suggest that you try filling out forms both ways-Jointly and Separate and see which one gets you the most refund and then file that way. I'll bet it will be MFJ-It usually is. A reputable tax preparer will do it both ways for you and then only charge you for the one actually filed.
