The new ILS Y at MMU for use during the Bedminster presidential TFR. Check out the name of the initial fix for the missed.

So... I posted the plate in an IFR Facebook group with nothing more than mentioning that in addition to the Sopranos fixes, there was a new waypoint on the missed. The post just broke 200 likes but, although there were a few comments about the Sopranos fixes, not a peep [correction: one peep as of this morning] about BSPUR.

I haven't been able to figure out whether the name wasn't recognized, not enough who recognized the geographic context, or people just didn't want to take the chance of creating a political bruhaha.

I don’t think that people who don’t know that approach is strictly for the Bedminster tfr, or why the Bedminster tfr exists, would pick it up
 
“Trump National's 2024 FA-1 farm assessment application, obtained from the Bedminster tax assessor, lists 320 acres taxed as standard commercial property, including its golf courses. It also includes 183 acres that are treated as farmland: 113 acres on which the club says it grows hay and another 70 counted as protected woodlands or wetlands, according to the form.

The first page of a farmland assessment form filed by Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, aka the Lamington Farm Club LLC. The club gets a hefty tax break for harvesting hay and keeping a herd of goats on part of its property.

The club's 2024 property tax bill comes to $450,000 for its 320 conventionally taxed acres — a rate of $1,406 per acre — and $1,168 for its farmland, or just $6.38 an acre. That's a saving of almost $257,000 [the membership fee is $350,000].”

Wrong *minster; this one is in New Jersey. Though similar in concept and execution for sure.

Yep, this is a very New Jersey thing to do.
