Guys,

Yes the waypoints are often named after controllers or other staff in AsA. There is a waypoint named after me in the Topend called "egore". That's my ex-RAAF handle.

Other waypoints you may come across named after ATCs are

Boydi
Roony (Giaan Roony's dad)
Greav
Smith
Scott
Berti
Alexa
Donya
Trota
Studa
Kateb
Ester
Credy
Pemac


And many others.

Other waypoints are just good fun, such as;

Triki (triki woo was a dog in "All creatures great and small" owned by Mrs. Pumfry)
Gafer
Tojam
Piggy (inside R641 EVD Range)


If I was too mention his name he'd kill me (he's 6'5" and about 135kg) but he loves rugby, dogs, and has a great sense of humour. He's responsible for all those waypoints already mentioned in previous posts.
