Funny fixes

[Fixtur]

I'm disappointed in the fix names on the WUTNG arrival. How hard would it have been to come up with ODBEE, RIZZA, JIZZA, RAKWN, KILRB, GOSTF, PROTC, RUKUS? Totally blew it.

Looks like 31 at PAKA to me. But it's been a while. Very excellent that you've been to those places.

I basically went there every couple days for several years.

It sure is fun to say though. I try and do my best Chapelle when checking in. WuTang!!!

Cleveland had a LBRON that I was cleared direct to and the controller said “You’re cleared direct LBRON, that’s CHARLIE HOTEL OSCAR KILO ECHO”

Edit- this was when he left Cleveland for Miami.

I always enjoyed MCI’s SPICY-BARBQ-TERKY-RIBBS and TUSKG-AYRMN.

I think it was MSP that had something along the lines of ITAUT-ITAWA-PUDDI-TATTT. Gone now but really funny!

KPSM RNAV 16, still there, though they added a random intermediate fix to it.

One of the fixes on the SouthernJets RNP approach in JNU is named after the retired Alaska guy who was involved in building said RNP approach.

@Capt. Chaos has JUGGG on one of his approaches

there used to be a fix somewhere around Koliganek called like, "IJZ" or something sounding similar to "I-JIZZ" - was looking for it yesterday, couldn't find it.

Elbo Room flying out of FLL always makes me lol.

That’s a legendary bar in FLL that’s been around for what seems like a hundred years.

KLOU has an RNAV to one of the runway that’s IFALN ANDYE CAANT GDDUP

Ah gotcha, I've heard of some people unfamiliar with the place think it refers to the unwritten rules of middle seats and who gets the armrests.

Doesn’t anyone miss the Trump-themed departure out of PBI? I don’t remember its name, but I know one of the fixes was UFIRD. Always thought it was kind of funny. Wonder what happened?

Not attempting to bring politics into this thread, so just reporting the facts here:

Donald Trump Waypoints To Be Renamed

Naming IFR fixes after celebrities and notable landmarks is a common practice, but renaming them due to political controversy is not. However, that's going to be the case with three waypoints for West Palm Beach International named after the real estate mogul and would-be presidential candidate...
