Departing Lancaster the other day, I received an odd clearance. I was
cleared from the airport to the Lancaster VOR, then East Texas VOR...

At the risk of repeating myself....if you don't understand, ask!!!

Reminds me of a guy who posted here many years ago about an incident in
Canada. IIRC departing Ottawa he thought was cleared via the Ottawa VOR
then enroute fixes, but had a lot of trouble with the accents. He didn't ask
for clarification (well not more than a couple of times). So he took off
and turned back towards the on-field VOR, only to find that that made ATC
really upset. Turns out he had been cleared via the Ottawa *Four*
[departure], not the Ottawa *VOR*.

(Actually I remembered it with poetic licence but my story's better than
reality... ;-)
