1. My favorite is the Crazy Woman VOR in Wyoming.

2. Have you see the RNAV 16 approach at Pease (PSM) in NH?

3. Sorry, that should be “have you seen”. Anyway, be sure and read the waypoints out loud as you fly from the ITAWT IAF to the missed approach holding fix.

4. That’s a good one. Since you use the long runway at Pease in your private pilot lesson plan, I’m sure you know about this: http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0702/00678R16.PDF.

5. The DRUNK intersection has been around for a long time. Elsewhere in the area is BOSOX and the approaches at PSM (RNAV 16 – ITAWT ITAWA PUDYE TTAIT IDEED) and LEB (ILS 18 – HAMMM BURGR FRYYS). There are lots of these around like SLC (RNAV 34L – HOMAR MARRJ BAURT LIEZA) and MCI (ILS 1R – SPICY BARBQ RIBBS)..

6. I hate getting vectored “Direct GRAVE” so I request HEVEN as an alternate.

7. And don’t forget the SNUPY intersection near Santa Rosa, CA (home of the late Charles Schultz) http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0702/00696SANTAROSA.PDF

8. Phil,
   We have an area here (southern Virginia) that experimentals/ultralights fly in that’s known as “Climax”.
   I’ll let you draw your own conclusions…
   Regards,
   mark

9. I flew into BOS eight-ish years ago on United and got to listen to the tower. They kept talking about going to RIPPIT. Any idea if that is a deprecated marker, or is it on another map?

10. The intersection is still there. Info at
