I did not know that. I wonder what airport BUGSY is near? I wonder
what town that airport is near? I just can't seen to figure it out.
Maybe someone smart like you could tell me the way.

In his first post he ask what BUGSY. BUGSY is Malone-Dufort Airport
at Malone, NY and later he ask what heavy was. My guess is he's near
Montreal.

It said there were over a 150 options. I was
wondering if you could recommend a few.

To what type of traffic do you want to listen? A busy commercial
airport? A busy general aviation airport? A sector of airspace
(perhaps near some airport)? Something else?

BUGSY is NOT Malone-Dufort Airport, nor is at Malone, NY. It
is the
missed approach fix on both GPS approach plates to KMAL (Malone-Dufort
Airport) and is about 11.2 nm from KMAL. The closest town to BUGSY is
Mountain Veiw, NY, not Malone, NY. BUGSY is also a fix on the enroute
LO and HI charts.

Enter the fix name into airnav.com. That will give you information
about the fix including lat & long, what charts it appears on, nearest
airport, and nearest town. Then look at the referenced charts for the lat
& long. If IAPs, look at the airport entry in airnav and then look at the
IAPs for that airport.
