Airport was originally McCoy Air Force Base (MCO) and was called Orlando McCoy before becoming all civilian and renamed Orlando International. The airlines kept the original code (MCO). There's also Orlando (ORL), closer to downtown (General Aviation) and Orlando Sanford (formerly NAS Sanford) to the northeast of Orlando....What a memory, I still got it!!!
