SoCal, into STS?


SoCal, NoCal, LoCal, it's all the same to me.


Just don't call NorCal "Bay Approach" as I absent-mindedly did last
Wednesday :-).

Or Sierra Approach. How long did that name last? I think by the
time it made it on to the VFR chart, they'd changed it to NoCal.

I think I got about half a dozen or so flights with Sierra. Shame
really, I liked the name -- "NorCal" is kinda graceless by comparison...

Yeah, the controllers liked that name, too. But decided it was a bad
idea for their callsign to be a word from the phonetic alphabet, so it
was changed.
