Default New fix names in honor of AOPA's President

Neat -- the AOPA web site indicates that a) Phil Boyer has been at the
helm for 15 years as of two days ago, and b) new fix names in his honor
for the June publication of updated terminal procedure charts.

RNAV (GPS) RWY 5 approach for FDK will have new names for fixes: PHILB,
DEFND, and GEEAY. Nice touch.

SNUPY

But I'm still waiting for LINUS, LUCY and WDSTK to be created
nearby.

LINUS and WDSTK are possibilities, they're the correct format and not
currently used anywhere else. But LUCY is too short.

We'd just have to call it LLUCY.

Not Peace, Pease. Pease International Tradeport, the former Pease Air Force
Base, named in honor of Captain Harl Pease, Jr.

Despite repeated attacks on his B-17 by enemy fighters on August 17th, 1942,
Captain Pease completed bombing an enemy airdrome at Rabaul, New Britain.
The airplane did not return from this mission, Captain Pease was
posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor.
