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.

The Ottawa VOR is 11 miles off-field, so it wouldn't quite as bizarre
as clearance to an on-field navaid.







If you pass the VOR within 1/2 mile, I would consider that as 'crossing
the VOR'. The original poster was close to the VOR when he took off.
Hence I don't see a need to return to that VOR after taking off. Just
proceed to the next fix.
