From the Wall Street Journal. Its an article about naming Fixes and some of the fun names they get.

I think it's somewhere near Lebanon that has these fixes

IAF - ITAWT
FAF - ITAWA
MM - PYTAT

Missed approach fixed is IDEED

TWOLF ONE
WILDD ONE

fix:

HRBEK

That explains why we have GOLDI and HAWNN at POC, one is the FAF for the VOR and the other is the FAF for the ILS.

tonyw · March 21st, 2006, 23:32

There's a WHINO intersection around DCA. Seeing how DC has just about the highest per capita alcohol consumption in the nation, that's appropriate.

Bonez, on an arrival in LAX, is named after a supe in LA tracon from back in the day.

His nickname was bone's. He was kinda thin.

Another arrival named after a controller is the SNINE arrival into MSP. The guys's name was European of some variety and was nine syllables long, starting with S. Unpronounceable by most, he was called S-Nine by most other controllers.

If you get the SNINE into MSP they might appreciate hearing S-Nine.

Hrbek.....

Kent Hrbek. First baseman on the 87 and 91 World Seriess championship teams. Hometown boy done good. Grew up maybe 10-15 minutes from the airport and still lives in the area today.

Yea, but you did get the Killebrew one.

Mr_Creepy · March 22nd, 2006, 04:37

Harmon Killebrew - yeah that's more from my generation.

But I always think of a bar in my home town called Killabrew. Drunk memories of college vacation.

bob loblaw · March 22nd, 2006, 08:04

In Baltimore we have RIPKN, RAVEN, WHINO, SPLAT, and WOOLY to name a few. SPLAT is a FAF for the ILS 33L @ KBWI and it is always funny to hear this. "Southwest 1082, you are three miles from SPLAT."

I've actually flown that one. It was on the way into Pease ANGB, NH. I think it was the Pudeye 2 arrival. I think the Missed approach point was PUD (Pudeye VORTAC), and the holding fix on the other side was IDEED. Haven't flown it in about 4 years though, I don't even think it's still there.

Wellstone One Departure.....

Not sure that I'd want it though.

drummerpilot311 · March 22nd, 2006, 22:37

New Orleans has VODOO, AWDAD, RYTHM, ZYDCO.

Timbuff10 · March 23rd, 2006, 00:24

DEN has got a SAKIC...

I like the one at Spinks airport in Fort Worth, the IAF is LEON, the FAF is MIKL and that leads you to the airport named SPINKS.

Well the chart is still around!

There's some great fixes near North County, Palm Beach -

ACCID, SPEED, HASHH

I can think of a few reasons why those would be in south FL

fish314 · March 23rd, 2006, 09:35

There's another good one going into Phoenix (or at least there WAS....)

The SUNSS arrival: JAMMN BBALL, SUNSS...

Pretty sure it's an approach, however. VOR/GPS or something.

Edit: Found it - http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0603/00678R16.PDF

jergar999 · March 23rd, 2006, 10:37

Wheelsup beat me to it. I also like the other IAF. Direct SATAN, cleared for approach to Portsmouth.

EDUC8-or · March 23rd, 2006, 11:00

There's GOOFY and MINEE in FL and I was in PIT a few weeks ago and whichever ILS we did had a few fixes named after Willie Stargell. I'm still waiting to get cleared direct DITKA.

Maybe when they put in DITKA they can also put in BRTMN and CHOKE

bike21 · March 23rd, 2006, 12:01

DITKA! There is also a BEARZ on the southeast arrival into ORD!

I like POWDR out in Colorado!!

There is a fix in Oklahoma that has a pretty funny meaning (can't remember for the life of me) that controllers will spell out phonetically and not actually say it. If I think of it, I'll be sure to post it. I seem to remember it having to do with parts of the female body
