October 24, 201114 yr Hi everyoneI expect this has been commented on many times before but I thought it would be fun for people to post interesting or funny waypoint names. For example over the middle of England there are 3 waypoints very close together called WESUL, STOAT and FERIT. On the way over the North Sea towards Holland there is a point called TULIP.It would be interesting to find out others and I guess there may be some that only have a meaning to people in that region. Regards Nixon Thomas
October 24, 201114 yr BUREK- Sebian national dish INSEX UPALA- Serbian to English -> inflammationKnow more but can't remember them now.
October 24, 201114 yr Author B737 Captain thanksFlown over BUREK so it's interesting to know it's meaning. Sometimes the spelling is changed to make the name only have five letters ie WESUL is of course Weasel.So is Burek the correct Serbian spelling. BTW do Serbians use the Cyrillic alphabet? Regards Nixon Thomas
