LEON and MIKL take you to Spinks airport near Dallas.

Denver has a SAKIC, BUFFS, AND RAMMS along with others.

Wow...

What a nice thread to read.

In FLIGHT INFO utopia... all the discussions would be this good.

The FAF for FLL 9L is NOVAE... Its right over the NOVAE ? University in the town of Davie, FL.

Thought you guys might get a kick out of this. I flew this approach about 3 times before my IP made me read it aloud. Start reading at the holding fix, then the FAF, all the way back to the IAF. It works better if you read it aloud.

Guess the USAF does have a sense of humor and sounds like somebody named Blake might have something to tell his family.

How about the ILS 22R at Detroit DTW; NUJNT followed by GEETR. Ted Nugent, guitar...

Gotta love the approach to I believe 10 in ATL. PDITY, and DMANN -- that was the original, I believe they've since taken DMANN out -- don't have my $hit here so can't look it up. Plus, thankfully, haven't been on 10 recently.

There is also the Qball into st. louis with fatts and some other pool stuff due to some sort of pool tournament.

The Qball6 arrival is so named because it begins over the town of Evansville, IN which is where pool tables have been made for a long, long time. Hence the name "Pocket City" (PXV) and the resulting fixes named after pool.

Note: this post was made by aa73 who shares a crash pad with his lover, Lowly.

Does anyone know why Mustang VOR (Reno) is FMG?

 

[landlover]

goofy 6 arrival into orlando.

First time I went into CVG I heard a crew report in with "we're just about to PORKR."

Because of Mustang Ranch.... stands for F**k My Girls - FMG.

How about SEXXY near Chicago.

NAKED near Anchorage.

NIPLE in Brazil.

I always wondered about FMG when I was flying out there, Is that conjecture or is that a fact? I will regain much of my faith in the FAA if they actually had had that much of a sense of humor........

Coming into Burbank, most of the intersections from Bakersfield South are named after OAK Center controllers. JEFFY retired late last year. LYNXX retired much earlier. ADAMM is still working last I heard.

One can hold at LIMBO awaiting further clearance to Paradise (PDZ).

A missed approach fix is UGONE off Lancaster, KWJF.
