There's a BULLZ1 arrival into ChicagoI've also seen RUNDI and CHOOT at 2 different airports in the US. It's my understanding that they are not used in polite conversation in India ;-)There's also RDNEK way up in northern Florida

How about MEEOW in Arkansas, JAVEX in North Carolina, SNIVL in Connecticut, SNEZE in Ohio, SPICY in Kansas and MILKY and MOIST in Wyoming.

One of the transitions on the COWBY4 departure from KLAS is the GUP transition. So this is read "Cowboy four departure, Gallup transition" :lol:There's a part of Interstate 76 in Philadelphia that's known as the Schuylkill Expressway (as it follows the Schuylkill River, which is pronounced School Kill, but blended and with our funny accent). The BOJID1 arrival to PHL (the part for landing East) ends with SCOOL KYILL EXPRS WHEYYThe JIMGE2 arrival from the south that overflies New Jersey ends with JRSEY PIIKE EASEY PAASS (NJ Turnpike, which uses EZ PASS auto toll transponders)My favorite is the ILS 1R at MCI (Kansas City) SPICY BARBQ TERKY SMOKE RIBBSWho says nobody at the FAA has a sense of humor? :(

On the LBSTA2 departure out of KBOS, bit of a seafood/nautical theme:LBSTACLAWWBUOYYBOATTThere is another fix in the area (part of another departure) which I wish they had put into the LBSTA2:BSQUEAnd of course my favorite a bit to the south:DRUNK

KBOS, Boston Logan, has some DPs names after Boston sports teams CELTK, PATSS, SSOX, and has one called LBSTA, lobster being a very popular dish in the area.Somewhere in the US, following an airway will get you over IWANA, BURGR, NSOME, FRIES. Someone was hungry.

KIND has race car driver names near it.Poster above beat me to the KBOS names.
