This navaid is located at a busy U.S. airport, which is only 26 nautical miles from a large hub airport. They serve two different cities, but the same area.
It is near the bayshore, and there are sharks nearby.
The VOR and airport it is located on is named for the Monarch that is in power over the island.
The airport has non-stop service available to several US airports. The top 5 airports served by passenger count ('09-'10) are: JFK, MIA, EWR, ATL, CLT
The airport it is located on was used by the United States Army Air Force during WWII to defend shipping and a critical US asset in the region from potential German U-Boat attacks.
This month's navaid is close to a major U.S. airport, on the RW28C final.
It's named after an 18th Century interpreter between Native American tribes and European settlers, but that name is also used by a Country Club (in the background of this photo), a nearby creek, school district, trail, and a former railroad.
