Fun With Airport Names

airport names

Sioux Gateway Airport, Sioux Falls SD SUX

Flying there really SUX

sorry cork, but that's SIOUX CITY , IOWA, about 90 miles down the road. And the airport "SUX".

Instrument approach intersections are designated with a 5-letter designation.

One approach coming into Portsmouth/Pease Int'l Airport (KPSM) NH has the following: "ITAWT" "ITAWA" "PUDEY" "TTATT" (think small yellow bird).

I'm told one airport has these intersections: "SPICY" "BARBQ" "RIBBS"...
