On the approach to Newark Airport in New Jersey: HOWYA DOOIN. Louisiana has RYTHM, Kentucky has BRBON, Kansas City has SPICY BARBQ RIBBS, Montpelier, VT has HAMM, BURGR and FRYYS.

Matthew, I’m sure that with your interest for French culture you’ll love that list of intersections made out of French names. Do you know some in Dutch ?

I don’t know any in Dutch that are particularly funny but I’ll have a look at the chart. Oddly, though, there are a couple that sound like nicknames of friends of mine. They think it’s funny and that I’m making up the waypoints to humour them!

Would have been a long way round through Scottish, Norwegian, Dutch and English airspace.
Some years ago , when that airspace was being restructured a series of WPs ran BETTY BITES BIGGA BOLOX. Didn’t make it into real life though
Those are great! Thanks for sharing. Beeno etc. brings back happy memories of childhood. Does Desparate Dan still exist, I wonder?
