That puts a smile on my face everytime I fly there... which is very often. I wonder if these names were given on purpose :(

In Saudi airspace there used to be 3 named " DEDLY OSAMA LADEN" dont know if they are still there, some of the waypoints on the East coast of Florida are named after challenger astronauts, SCOBE= Dick Scobee etc

I always wondered about the guys that actually picks those names.. something like "Ok, boys, this is THAT part of the day, to pick the names of new Waypoints!" I mean, seriously, some names, even more in America, are so random!I think it's something automatic, like "Waypoint-O-Matic 3000 Plus", "Clike here to generate new names" or something hahaha.Near my hometown, there are some cool ones: JUICEOGRECAKECheers.

Fans of the Bard's writing will like the first two, if you prefer your literature a bit more pictorial, then the second two will be more up your street:Note: for anyone who doesn't get it, Shakespeare of course wrote Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, and two popular children's comics published in the UK are the Dandy and the Beano.Al

Guys, you should really explain every fix name you post, I do not understand more than 80% of waypoints you found interesting.
