I recently had a reason to look up some flights in my military logbooks and I am trying to figure out what air fields where represented by the following 3-letter codes. These are all from the 1985 to 1988 time frame.

JSM - Misawa, Japan?
KTH - Cubi Point?
JDG - Diego Garcia?
ODN - Pusan or Pohang Korea?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Unfortunately they don't show in those lists. Plus I tried the normal ICAO and FAA identifier searchs but either came up with different codes of none at all. I think these were unique military 3-letter codes and I'm pretty sure about the countries based on my deployment history, cruise books, etc. Just looking for some verification.

Oh yeah, 7th Fleet Deplyment!!

Hmmm, these all look soooo familiar! Looks like someone else went on a 7th Fleet deployment!

RJSM MISAWA (brrr!)
RKTH POHANG
RJDG FUKUOKA ACC
RODN KADENA (they now have a Chillis, "Baaabbby Back Ribbbbsss!!!")

A good place to look them up is via the DINS NOTAMS system:

Garcias mi amigo. I did 3 westpacs between 1985 and 1989. Many happy memories of the Cubi O'club and not so happy ones of freezing my a$$ off in Misawa and Adak. I got to freeze my a$$ off in Iceland during my department head tour too. However I had Diego, Saudi and Panama deployments to warm me up in between.

Smiles in Cubi and foamies in Thailand...what a life! What memories! :D
