There’s more than one Crazy Woman out there...

It doesn’t exist anymore, but the old TWSTD arrival into IAH featured fix names such as MENTL FRAGL WHACK PSYCO CRNKY NUTZZ and PROZC.

Perhaps it was the same poor fella who chose DIVCE and HOBIG as fix names for the ILS 21 into KMSN.

Flying around Africa, Cameroon has the two best airport identifiers I’ve ever found. Flying south to north you’ll cross

FKKN
FKKR

Ngaoundéré and Garoua Airports.

IAF for the ILS 36 at KHRT is SAMMY, sammy's is also a local gents club in Destin.

My faves would be GOONS around the Georgia / Alabama borders, TEPEE and ZEXYY around Tampa, FL, and THNDR near Pahokee, FL
Along then native American lines, there is WAMPM near TLH

Default your favorite fix or VOR name?

Patriotic fixes at DCA.

A couple of cool fixes in Florida near Cape Canaveral where the space shuttles use to launch from.
