Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport gets its airport code, VPS, from its proximity to Valparaiso, Florida. The airport terminal and runways are located on Eglin Air Force Base, and when the airport opened in 1957, commercial passengers had to enter the base via the gate closest to Valparaiso. You can reach the airport from several directions now, but the Valparaiso-inspired airport code remains. (Source)
