Fun GPS waypoints

[ozone]

As I have perused the waypoint designators around my state, i noticed some strange coincidences:

BREWS: happens to be near Golden, CO; home of coors beer
SKIER: Just north and west of Aspen airport

And my instructor told me that a string of waypoints over kansas, when read from west to east, reads out like a sentence (cant find it right now).

...anyone else have some fun ones?

I always thought it was funny to see BUCKS outside of TPA. The BUCS are our football team. Not the same spelling, but cool.

We also have the BLOND fix. I can't wait to shoot some approaches on BLOND. Start your descent on the BLOND.

There are a bunch, but seriously, who gives the designation to an airport in the US as "RAP" with the normal K prefix?

[Van_Hoolio]

On the old RIICE arrival into IAH there were two fixes in sequence, MILLR and LYYTE but on the RIICE TWO they took out MILLR (probably because of a certain airplane type's FMS).

In Newark HOWYA and DOOIN are right next to each other, but you don't see them on the plates that way. They are the final fixes for the the ILS 4L and 4R.

My favorite is HEROS just south of where WTC was

I can't recall them now but I know Orlando has some good ones referring to Disney characters and such.

I believe two of them are HKUNA and MTADA (or something) from Lion King.

The PIGLT One RNAV arrival into Orlando has HKUNA, MTATA, JAZMN, JAFAR, PIGLT, RIFKI, and TTIGR in succession.

 

[dakovich]

can't remember the actual spelling but there were two waypoints near West Palm that sounded out as "acid" and "doobie", not sure if they're still there.

In MCI... BARBQ, RIBBS, HEHAW.

Not sure if it's the one you're thinking about but the ILS 8R at North County in Palm Beach (F45) has DUJBY and AZCID on the loc :bandit:

Note the name of the FAF and where it is
