funny/bizarre point names
 

hi, I would like to hear your collection of points with funny or bizarre names. We are introducing a new route scheme in spring, among other points we have: penex, gimix, rekti, nipel

(last two are actually in this order)

:}

Madad, Bombo, Itsux & Lardy

Direct KOK, DIK....oh those wacky Luxembourg-ens....

LOREL + HARDY and BUSTA(Keaton) in London ,all black and white film comedians.
GINIS in Ireland.AAAAAH
Also BULUX in Belgium and nearly a nice place to go VAGNA in France.

There's one in Saudi Arabia called "RAGED" and in Australia there's GAFFA (Great Australian F??k All) in the Nulaboor Plain.

My personal favourites are:

DOGIT and KOLID

('Dodge It' and 'Collide' - Geddit?)

Believe there is also ROBUM and RAPEM.

FAF at DUS 05L is called DIKMI, always cracks me up when I have to brief it! :}

and lest not forget BEKOK en rte to FRA.

The long winter nights must just fly by;)

I did Google these, not sure if there real: LEAKY, BOATS, SINNK, DRAIN and PLUGG

BALIX (excellent with an Irish accent), CIDAR

Itaw, apud, ycat - all following on one route, near Diego Garcia if I remember correctly :).

Nokox, all girl crew heard requesting direct - chaos on radio follows :}.

on the north polar siberian route there is a BOLOX AND TITIE

We were having this same conversation the other week, when THRED and NEEDL came up. DIKAS was mentioned too.

I pointed out that there is a CLITY, but no male pilot has found it! :rolleyes:

Sorry....

NIAKID,ANNET--always made me laugh when I could hear the Lands End Sector from where we lived before!

Madrid airspace has RATAS and GASMO

and as always the humour lies in using the correct accent.

I wonder if EGBKFlyer will make an appearance on this thread, as I know he has been collecting these waypoints for simply ages.....

Just South of NCL there are GIRLI and UVAVU....The latter sounds like something Vic Reeves used to say on Shooting Stars and he is from that neck of the woods....

I can't find the link, but Nick Locke had a web site for all VOR/Rps

Artha & Daley north of Manchester, UK

There are two VORs about 80 miles apart, 250 or so miles southwest of JFK which auto tune in the FMC and they are;

FAK ORF :eek:


FlAtrocK and NORFolk

I just about died laughing the first time I saw this.

Regards,
BH.

Then there's LESTA & PIGOT up by East Mids

Some time ago heard an American call PENIL penile!
