Have a look at the approach plates for CMH. I think ILS 28 R, maybe. Anyway there was a crash about 5 miles from the runway. An airplane stalled then crashed. The fix names are GOTSL or got slow then UNOIT, you know it. Kinda sad. I am not sure if the spelling is right, but check it out.

Shafter (EHF) VOR outside Bakersfield.
Plus, this is just slightly off-topic, but airport abbreviations were mentioned. Fresno apparently changed their airport's name a few years back, from Fresno Air Terminal to Fresno Yosemite International. The ICAO identifier never changed from FAT though. I read a joke in a newspaper or something along those lines that said, "FYI, you're still FAT".
