April 28, 200323 yr That is definitely a great find. Ive never seen an approach that had not only names you could pronounce, but were also linked together like that. Thanks for the post.Craig
April 28, 200323 yr That's hilarious. (You must be good at word puzzles.)Who names those waypoints anyway?Blair

April 28, 200323 yr Hey! I was born there (Pease AFB, Portsmouth NH)! As funny as those waypoints are, did anyone else notice the intersection NE of ITAWA? It says SATAN for crying out loud! Who in their right mind names an intersection "SATAN"?-Max Cowgill
April 30, 200323 yr There is also a waypoint calle Bosox outside of Boston, and oivee outside of Portland, ME, which is frequently mispronounced as oiveeeeee by gentile controllers :), instead of oivayyy, like our Jewish friends.P4 1.8768 ram 80 gig hardriveVisiontek Ti4 4600CH yoke/pedalsElite Multi quadrant19" inch monitor-Soundblaster PCI 512Win XPInstrument rated ASEL -224 hoursAOPALawyerPilots Bar Association"Men without dreams are never free, twas thus this way and thus will ever be."
April 30, 200323 yr The approach for RWY 1R at KMKC has progressive fixes of SPICY, BARBQ, RIBBS... made me hungry on short final...fun stuff...Coot KCLE
April 30, 200323 yr And the ILS approach to Rwy 18 into Lebanon NH has the fixes, HAMMM, BURGR, and FRYYSAnd you can go to IRISH HOCKY RACES VOR 25L/R into Las Vegas McCarran.Cheers :)Woodreau / KMVL
April 30, 200323 yr Who says the FAA doesn't have a sense of humor :-lol (at least in New England)Brian
April 30, 200323 yr As well, they do this intentionally where they can for memory sake. I know all of us now know that approach! :)
April 30, 200323 yr And searching for funny-named intersections give you something to do to help pass the time on those otherwise boring instrument approaches!
