Getting Closer
Many thanks to those of you who replied with answers. I had tried searching on the web before, but many of the names were not familiar to me. Now, to answer a few questions . . .

Just curious why you need the name of the field? I only log the identifier.
Just anal I reckon . . . when telling stories, its always Grafenwöhr AAF or Graf, not EDIC--that's all.
rstev1955 - I recognize the most names from your post. Thanks.
Here's a few more?
KNZY - San Diego NAS?
KNCQ - USA?
LYSA -
Hindsight being 20/20, or in some cases 20/15, we never include enough comments in our logbooks about our experiences, but sometimes, we just don't want to write it all down

Hopefully some other folks will have the same codes in their logbooks and can share. In fact, they could be the beginning of some interesting stories.
I'm sure there are some great stories out there. About Grafenwöhr, it was just a few miles from the "Iron Curtain," aka the border of Czechoslovakia I think. It was/is ~3000 x 60, with a tight ramp. Due to trees on the approach end from the north, especially on a PAR in IMC, it was always an interesting approach and landing.
Thanks again for all the help. Take care and fly safe.
Cheers.
BTW I'm up to about 250 different locations -- still need to find my way to Australia, though.
