ClearedHot Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Dropping the Boystown reset yesterday reminded me that we used to have a SID out of Laughlin called the Boystown Three. I always wondered how they got away with it for so long. I am checking the NIMA site right now, but I don't see the SID anymore (and the site is painfully slow). I did however find the ILS RWY 36 at Hurlburt Fld which still has Sammy has the IAF. For those not familiar, Sammy’s is the local strip club three miles east of the base (So being sent to Sammy and hold is not necessarily a bad deal). Anyone have any other examples? [ 22.

Guest sickels101 Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 I don't know if this is in the same league as yours but at Lincoln Municipal they have an IAF called Cooch for the Hi-VOR/DME or Tacan RWY 18. So technically, you are penetrating Cooch. And good times were had by all. [ 22. February 2006, 12:58: Message edited by: SoNotToSpeak ]
Vetter Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 I'd like to penetrate CANDI. Ellington Field I think.
Toasty Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Off the coast of Miami there's and intersection called "DROWN". Someone had a sense of humor.
F-15E WSO Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 I've always been trying to get cleared Direct BANGOR.
Champ Kind Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Not a part of an IAP, but I think the "CHEETAH" working area here at NAS Corpus Christi is a reference to a gentlemen's club off of the SPID.... Not sure though.
dmeg130 Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 It's not an instrument approach, but anyone who's worked off the coast of San Diego has experience with "Beaver Control".
Guest jtpuro Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 BEAVR is one of our recovery points out of the Westover MOA. Always humerous to hear someone say "BEAVR on the nose". There's also a point near Lubbock named HYMAN.
MT near Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 BALLS intersection is located in Muncie Indiana. Ball State Univerisity is located there
Guest S3Dude Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 I work with Beaver Control every flight in the local Area (San Diego). They are the controllers for the W-291 area. So Cal App loves to tell you to "switch the beav", "roger, switching beaver".
Scooter14 Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Pease GPS 16 Not politically incorrect, and kind of dorky, but some terpster thought he was funny. Start at the western IAF and go all the way to the missed approach holding fix.

Start at the western IAF and go all the way to the missed approach holding fix. That's pretty funny, and I like how "SATAN" fits in there so naturally (uh, sts)! You can search fixes here: https://www.airnav.com/airspace/fix/
Guest Hoser Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 I was going to mention the GPS to Pease, but Scooter beat me to it. There is a fix South of Boston Logan Intl (BOS 153/22) and the gods were shining on me the day I got to report "Crusader 3241V, DRUNK with Whiskey" Hoser
HerkDerka Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 Don't forget BARFF in central Arkansas. "Herky 01 is cleared to BARFF." HD
Techsan Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 When flying westbound from Andrews, the standard routing is always LDN J134 STL ...well, one day when flying this, I could see all of the fixes on the jet route which were displayed on the MFD (we never really look @ the chart). The fixes read (in order): STEVE COLNS LAYED HNN (HNN is Henderson) Coincidence? I think not!

Guest Slye Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 There's a FAF called COXOR into Lackland I believe. I used to think I was giving out a little too much info by reporting COXOR, gear down. I'm not sure how they found out, but that's none of their business...

Back at Moody the SQ/DO had the personality of a fence post and he was a stickler strict interpretation of the rules. One of his rules was using VCSL callsigns out of the book for cross-country trips. I was taking a plane to the desert and what do you think the book puked out…Fairy-69. I tried to convince the command post to give me the alternate, but the DO had already called the Command Post and ordered them not. So there I was crossing the pond, flying through Europe, and into Saudi using Fairy-69. It was the most depressing 4 days of my life.
Guest Dirt Beater Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 When you guys have a callsign that has a '9' in it do you always say "X niner" or "niner X", or just kinda blow it off? I wouldn't think anyone would get too chafed about it..

Lackland doesn't have runways (and I don't buy that Lackland Annex crap, its Kelly). Hoser
Guest illini52 Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 O'Hare used to have a SEXXY intersection. They changed it a few years ago I think.
Guest Xtndr50boom Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 There's some sort of NAVAID in Montana IIRC, called "Crazy Woman"
Young Crow Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 Originally posted by Xtndr50boom: There's some sort of NAVAID in Montana IIRC, called "Crazy Woman" It's a VOR/DME in Wyoming.
Guest Xtndr50boom Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 Montana, Wyoming. It's all the same: Sticksville. Thanks for the correction YC [ 22. February 2006, 21:36: Message edited by: Xtndr50boom ]
