om...

What had you filed and what was the actual clearance?


How do you differentiate a VOR from an airport when filing? What is
the difference between SAC and SAC, what is the difference between SMO
and SMO, etc.


On-field VORs usually have the same identifier as the airport, but not
always. In this case Lancaster Airport is LNS and Lancaster VORTAC is LRP.
It may simply be that the proposal strip had LNS..LRP..ETX... as the route
and the controller just read it as written.
