ClearedHot Posted February 22, 2006 Share 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 Share 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 ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vetter Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I'd like to penetrate CANDI. Ellington Field I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasty Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Off the coast of Miami there's and intersection called "DROWN". Someone had a sense of humor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champ Kind Posted February 22, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmeg130 Posted February 22, 2006 Share 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". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jtpuro Posted February 22, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest S3Dude Posted February 22, 2006 Share 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". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter14 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Pease GPS 16 Not politically incorrect, and kind of dorky, but some terpster thought he was funny.

Guest Hoser Posted February 23, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Techsan Posted February 23, 2006 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Slye Posted February 23, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dirt Beater Posted February 23, 2006 Share 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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lackland doesn't have runways (and I don't buy that Lackland Annex crap, its Kelly). Hoser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
