Edwards (EDW) California

This month's navaid is at a Regional airport in the United States, which also houses an Air National Guard fighter wing.  The city's name honors a Revolutionary War U.S. Army Officer and Statesman, who earned a nickname that one could say questioned his sanity.  It was founded as an Army post at the confluence of three rivers.
The airport has been (but is no longer) an air cargo hub, and now is a maintenance base for a Regional Airline.

FWA (Ft. Wayne, Indiana)

This month's Navaid is located near a city of the same name. 

The downtown airport has the same designator, but is not co-located with the VOR.
 

Pilots should insure that they are going to the right airport, as the airline-served airport is at a former military base on the other side of the city.

Dependable Engines come from here.
  
A weapon that is also the name of an animal is made in this city.
