I have been battling the wits with some people over the code for a certain airport. They all say it's one thing, while I say it's not.
Why? Because every website they've found with it says it is.

Look this up on the web,
What does CVG stand for?
Every blasted web site I've seen say it is for Covington, Ky.
Because that was the biggest major city in Kentucky at the time the airport was built. Or, it was the nearest city.

When I was a child in the fifties, I was at that airport for an open house.
Sitting in the pilot's seat of a DC-9, I asked the pilot, "What does CVG mean?".
Cincinnati
Vicinity
Greater.

At that time, there were a few other airports that had this VG code as well.
Today, there are 3. PVG is Shanghai Pudong.

The Covington thing comes from the fact, as I see it, comes from the time when the cable tv industry came to be, a certain weather channel host had no clues so he saw covington on the map and used that. So over the years, people believe that and when the internet comes along, nobody bothers to confirm.

I have written to the IATA and the Kenton Co. Airporit Board (the owners), with no reply from either.

Can anyone confirm what I was told and have a way to do so online?
