In a previous article, "Allan9" said:
This came about by the increased usage of computers in Air Traffic Control. Computers could not understand or process a VOR(Cleveland VOR) CLE direct to Cleveland (Hopkins) Airport CLE. So it was decided to change the name the name of the VOR. So Cleveland VOR becamw Dryer VOR (DBJ). It was nameed after a very prominent Cleveland aviation family. Milwaukee VOR became Badger, South Bend VOR became Gipper (wonder why?) and so on. Al So why are so many VORs around here still sharing the name and ident with the local airport? SYR, ROC and BUF are all FAA ids that are shared between airports and their on-field or nearby VORs. BUF VOR is even part of the BUFFALO ONE departure from BUF airport, and is part of the feeder routes for several instrument approaches there. -- Paul Tomblin http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/ "It should be understood by those skilled in the art that a Web browser, such as Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer, ... is separate from the operating system." - Microsoft patent lawyers shoot their anti-trust lawyers in the ass. |

Only the VORs that were some distance from the fields were changed, generally more than five miles. |
