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.

The answer is Humble (IAH), at Houston Intercontinental Airport

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

The answer is Craig (CRG) VORTAC, Jacksonville, Florida





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.

The answer is Harrisburg (HAR), Pennsylvania





This Navaid is not in the United States.
It is named after the city where it is located, and services a large airport 3.1 miles away, which has the same three letter (IATA) code. 
That airport's four letter (ICAO) designator is also an English word for something that might keep you from seeing a VOR!
The area was the location of a WWII naval battle, which was not successful the first time for the Allies. 
The city and its harbor was a prize for the Japanese, as it had a huge oil industry, which Japan needed for fuel.
