Narrative:

During a recently planned flight to shelbyville (syi) my copilot and I saw that the runway had a NOTAM for closure after we had departed and were enroute towards syi. As we again discussed our arrival we found the NOTAM on our initial descent. Our flight ended up going to nashville anyway so it was not an issue; however the reason NOTAM was over looked was due to the way the NOTAM was presented. NOTAM was presented as follows e.g. Bna (NOTAM #) syi (NOTAM detail) on fltplan.com. Many times or at many airports notams are presented as the airport identifier e.g. Syi (NOTAM #) (NOTAM detail) and do not have a different airport in front of the affected airport. Perhaps this is the way that airport normally identifies notams. This would have been avoided had the NOTAM been presented as syi (NOTAM #) (NOTAM detail) only and not preceded by bna
