This is a complete waste of taxpayer dollars. If I'm reading correctly the Florida waypoints referenced were renamed because a busybody NY Times reporter complained?

Zooming into my local area is a fun bit of puzzling over some of the changes.<p>I guess I see why XXWNG is changed to EXWNG (less ambiguous), but why is Colorado&#x27;s BRNKO changed to VONNN? (edit: aha, maybe local hero Lindsey Vonn) HASHE is changed to JURKY, maybe because the former could be a drug reference to Colorado, and HIPPE is changed (though it was in a decidedly non-crunchy part of Colorado).<p>FLAIL became DEELO, and if I was forced to guess it&#x27;s because saying &quot;flail&quot; over a radio would be something I&#x27;d tend to slowly overpronounce. CENTN was presumably changed because it&#x27;s almost the name of the nearest airport (KAPA, Centennial Airport).

Is there a time limit before these can be reused somewhere else? I assume it&#x27;s not immediate, or it might cause confusion. Most of these names are only bad because of the area they&#x27;re over.<p>I appreciate the creativity put into some of these though, I assume that makes most of the notable navpoints more memorable.

I&#x27;m sure Philadelphians were glad that JAWNS from the SouthEast US got renamed!

And yet, they kept SHART. Love it. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;skyvector.com&#x2F;?ll=40.49952904132459,-98.21383667288202&amp;chart=302&amp;zoom=1" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;skyvector.com&#x2F;?ll=40.49952904132459,-98.213836672882...</a>

Nothing gold can stay...<p>&gt; Southwest of Cleveland, OH, there was a cluster of now removed waypoints: WHHAT, THATZ and MYMOM.

What I’m getting from this story is that the FAA has too many employees and too much money.

At one point there was a FUBAR waypoint near Phoenix.

&gt; Therefore, there offensive and derogatory nature went unnoticed until the recent comments of Donald Trump’s speech.<p>I&#x27;m not quite sure what they mean by that. If the sequence was TRMMP DPORT MXCNS maybe.

SFO has some appropriately Silicon Valley-themed waypoints: the SSTIK5 departure procedure has &quot;CISKO&quot;, &quot;EBAYE&quot; and &quot;UTOOB&quot;. SFO also has the SNTNA2 departure which has &quot;KYNNG&quot;, &quot;KRLOS&quot; and &quot;SNTNA&quot; (in that order).<p>LAS has the GAMES2 arrival which has &quot;FUULL&quot;, &quot;HOUZZ&quot; and &quot;BYNGO&quot;.<p>My personal favourites, however, are at Philadelphia (PHL), where there are there two arrivals named after cheesesteak restaurants: JIIMS4 and PAATS4.
