May 2025 VOR Quiz

This VORTAC is located in the United States. It's named after the nearby city. The identifier is the same as the city's airport, but it is located 5.8 miles away.

That city is a stop on the Amtrak system, and was named after the wife of a railroad baron.

The airport hasn't had airline service for 72 years. The nearest airline-served airport is 73 nautical miles away.

"Florida" is nearby.

February 2025 VOR Quiz

This low altitude VORTAC is located in the United States.
It's named after the nearby city, and is 15.5 nautical miles away
from its airline-served airport.

Its designator is what you would think that airport's IATA code would be,
but that code relates to the borough where it is located.

Actually, the city's previous airline-served airport, closer to the city,
still carries that IATA code.
Airline service left there in the late 1960s.

March 2025 VOR Quiz

This month's navaid is a high altitude VORTAC, located at a large U.S. airport.

This airport was conceived at the dawn of the Jet Era.

It does not, however, have the same name as the airport.

It's named after an adjacent town, which is named for a man, but it's not proud.

January 2025 VOR Quiz

This Navaid is in the United States of America, at a General Aviation airport,
a reliever for the city's larger, airline-served airport.

The name of the airport could be a man's first name, or a last name.

It's named after a military officer who was killed at Pearl Harbor.

It's a former military airfield, turned over to the city after World War Two.

The VORTAC used to be on a Jet Route, but now a Q route passes just east of the airfield.
