Title: Some Funny FAA Fixes
Post by: Jeremy Peterson on April 22, 2017, 09:59:05 PM: Ever notice some clever sounding fix names in your area?

A list of clever fixes (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BybtFqojE0vGYkNTNEQ0eU1PSFU)

Enjoy. The format is pretty primitive and I'm updating it quite often so expect it to expand. Corrections, suggestions, questions, welcome.

Also, fun fact, DUNKK used to be DRUNK - conveniently located over the South Shore of MA, where all the Irish folk live.

Thanks for compiling this. Great stuff.

This is what happens when I get too excited and rush.

...I know, "that's what he said"...

Can you explain this one? Pardon my apparent oblivious-ness.

Post by: Jeremy Peterson on April 23, 2017, 01:56:03 PM: Lol. I don't think this qualifies as "clever" because there doesn't seem to be anything else related to it around nor does it seem that relevant to any regional/historical context. Maybe the Salem Witch Trials, but I hesitate do add it.

Post by: Don Desfosse on April 23, 2017, 02:09:49 PM: I guess maybe if you're old like me and grew up with Looney Tunes and the "old school" FAA, you'd think it funny and clever that someone from the FAA would even do it.... ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-B5vCLAoqw

Can't forget the loads of Star Wars references throughout the Austin airspace! 'WINDU' 'VADRR' 'SSOLO' 'JEDYE'

Post by: Krikor Hajian on April 24, 2017, 11:07:26 AM: Some good ones into Chicago O'Hare;

FYTTE4 arrival has a few hockey references; BHAWK SNLEY CUUPP https://skyvector.com/files/tpp/1704/pdf/00166FYTTE.PDF
And also some good Star Trek references (on multiple STARS including the FYTTE); SOOLU KURKK VULCN https://skyvector.com/files/tpp/1704/pdf/00166FYTTE_C.PDF
