Wonder what it is costing to rename all these places they are ripping ground based aids out of...reprinting charts and all the other doc's that go with it.
Sydney is now TESAT....what the hell was wrong with SY...Mudgee, Walget, Jacobs well, etc etc., what the hell was wrong with just leaving them named as they were, at least they were relevant to the place? Is there a prize in ASA for dreaming up the most bizarre names, It even confuses controllers.
No doubt tens of thousands of dollars pissed up against the wall, probably enough to keep a few ground aids going for a few more years.
Bureaucracy and its waste at its best.
