It took me a few seconds to figure out whether this recent thread on the official P3d forums was for real or a joke:

Rapid City airport!💩

I always say "Kay-Wrap" for that airport, and that way I don't say KRAP.  heh.

I'm not at home (my login info for LM forums is there) so I can't reply to that poor guy in that thread, but someone needs to let him know that Exclusions changed with v5 and that's why he's seeing double signs.  Since his developer isn't responding, he can fix it himself.  A fix would be to download the latest version of ADE and drop down a big Exclusion rectangle under the airport, which excludes taxisigns.

For the double whammy, fly Kalitta from... Little Rock... and speak quickly when telling someone about your flight...😄😜

Actually KLIT is appropriate for Little Rock when you consider a governor who later became president once lived there.

For some really funny stuff, take a look at the STARs for KATL.  The best of those is now been removed, but flying Westbound into Atlanta you had something akin to DIRTY, HORNY, WOEMN, and it went downhill from there.  Someone most have complained, loudly, but it wasn't me.  Still the present day STARs are pretty neat.

How about an honorable mention for Mumbai-Juhu Airport. VAJJ...

Cheers, Pete

If anyone is looking for a chuckle, plan a Biz-Jet flight from Parma, Italy to Kokomo Municipal, Indiana.

There are some waypoints named FRODO and BAGINS and GNDLF or similar too, in that area -- north Alabama, western Georgia, all taken from the Lord of the Rings books.

One near the Florida Keys -- MNATE -- I used to think it was for Minnie Minoso or someone named Minate -- flew it for years thinking this.  Only about a year ago I realized, duh, it is short for "Manatee", which fits in with the other nautical waypoints in the area.
