This U.S. navaid (a low altitude VOR) is named after the nearby town. That town was named by combining parts of the first names of a local pioneer's daughters.
The town's name might make you think of a fruit preserve, or possibly the disco era.
This navaid is part of an Arrival Procedure for a large U.S. city.
Its identifier seemingly has absolutely nothing to do with the name of the associated locale (a small city).
On the other side of the nearby river, there's a place that gets seasonal LLWS activity.
On the shore of that river, not too far to the west, there's a town, the name of which would confuse outsiders, making them think they were in another state.
This month's navaid is located at an airport with the same identifier. That airport's name is a color. It is a medium sized airport with airline service, and is a reliever airport to a very busy airport in the adjacent state.
The airport is actually located in a smaller city adjacent to the metropolitan area that the airport is known to serve. The town to the west of this airport's location was the site of a deadly fire that was caused by a fish.
This navaid is on a Departure Procedure for a major U.S. hub airport.
It’s near a city of the same name, and shares a three letter designator with the local airport, but is not located thereon. That airport does not currently have airline service.
After getting a “fix” of raw fish nearby, one might enjoy a Last Kiss in this city, or a locally-made candy that doesn’t taste like chicken, despite its name.
