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.

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.
