This VOR (visible just above the nose of the aircraft) is in the United States, and is named after the nearby city. 

The local airport (five miles away from the navaid) is served by a Regional Airline, and shares the same identifier.

The City was named after the abundant local trees, but the founders mis-identified the trees; they were actually Junipers.

This navaid shares the name of the nearby small town, and the name and identifier of its general aviation airport.

The town, which is in a sparsely populated area of the U.S., was named after a local rancher and politician, who is named after a lover of horses, but was actually a fan of the buffalo.

The county where it is located is named after a Norwegian King.

Passing through the town is a lousy body of water, but the sun kisses the earth here, allegedly.

    rather than by the state in which it is located.  It’s named after that group.

  • The nearest airport, in an adjoining town, has the same identifier as the navaid.
  • If you went to the town where that airport is located, six decades ago,you could have had a Bad Day.
