E is Northern Europe, D is Deutschland. I can't find an EDAF - where is that? Frankfurt/Main is EDDF, do you mean that?

EDDF is the civilian side. EDAF is the military side. Hence the "A", or at least that's what the guy at base ops told me. I really don't know why they have two different identifiers for a dual use airport.

ABQ and CHS are both dual use airports yet have a single identifier.

I think at airports with two numbers and a letter, the letter designates which ARTCC it falls under. Example used earlier was Rock Hill. Before the change it was 29J....the J refering to Jax Center.
