	I just started the US Coastal Club achievement and I was confused when attempting the Hilton Head Island (HHH) leg. Our flight schedule shows this to be HHH. Flight planning programs and FSX do not recognize HHH, but they do recognize HDX. I did some research and this is what Wikipedia has to say: Hilton Head Airport (IATA: HHH, ICAO: KHXD, FAA LID: HXD) Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned HXD by the FAA[1] and HHH by the IATA. The IATA code HHH is used for commercial airline booking purposes. So... HHH is correct for Airline Booking... but not for Flight Planning. For that use HXD. Hope that helps someone in the future. Kevin PS - ORBX has KHXD as one of their Freeware Airports.

	One of the tricks of some of our accomplishments is actually finding the airports.
