More interesting waypoints. The SSTIK1 Departure from KSFO has a few good ones: UTOOB, NTELL, AYOOH, EBAYE. http://flightaware.com/resources/airport/KSFO/DP/S

One that always made us chuckle was a standard routing from London over Belgium, the the Biggin Hill VOR, BIG, the KONAN waypoint, then the Koksy VOR, so the route was BIG KONAN KOK.
The eyebrow raiser was called DROWN, and its right between Cuba and the Southern tip of Florida. Not accidental.
Little Rock Airport has the ICAO code KLIT. There's heaps of good ones.
I used to dispatch international flights. The author pulled back the veil on some esoteric aviation knowledge and still managed to make a good story of it. Good form.

- cpcallen 11y agoMy favourite is the "Looney Tunes Approach" at Portsmouth NH (KPSM): ITAWT, ITAWA, PUDYE, TTATT and IDEED.
