Whoo, boy, you don't want much. Heh. Do you just want the FAA codes
(which are specific to the U.S.) or do you want the ICAO codes which
deal with airports all over the world? Or perhaps the IATA codes?
These differ to some degree. For example, both the FAA and IATA codes
for Los Angeles International Airport are LAX. The ICAO code is KLAX.
FSX contains a list of all airports the program recognizes based on the
ICAO codes. (If you've added airports through an add-on the list will
reflect those additions.) There are a number of online databases you
can look up the codes you want. Wikipedia has some good material on
this. Check out:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Civil_Aviation_Organization_airport_code
From that article you can access most anything you'll need regarding
that, including external databases. However, a search on Google doesn't
seem to show any database you can download.
