Very Good. ORD == Orchard Field (originally).
I've always wondered why they changed the code when Idlewild was renamed
to JFK, but not for O'hare. Also, when the new Kansas City airport (MCI)
was opened, the old one (MKC) retained the code, but in Denver, the code
for Stapleton (DEN) was moved over to the new airport.
Oh well, so it goes. (and so do I)
