Airport Identifiers

Is there a source one can go to and obtain a list of "old" airport identifiers? Some folks have older lorans & gps's with non updatable data bases that otherwise function as good as ever, but have a need to know the older identifiers in order to continue using their older units.

Here's a list of all changes since 1995. Be patient, it can take a good while to load:

On my "Apollo 920 Plus" GPS, I just scroll down to the second line and enter in the name of the town or airport and up pops the old identifier.
Lincoln, California, and Caldwell, Idaho, are a couple that I remember as having been changed when they installed the AWOS, or ASOS.

The same technique works on the KLN-88 Lorans also,... just scroll down to the city name of any airport page, enable the cursor, and change the city name....the old identifier pops up, and the rest of the data is instantly available as well.
