  1. This month's navaid is named after a city.

  2. It's near the local airport, but doesn't share the same identifier. That airport doesn't have airline service or military activity anymore, but it does have International status, and has a TRACON and a full-time FAA-staffed ATC tower.

  3. You'd think by its name that it would be on a hill or a mountain.

  4. The city USED to share a nickname with the large tourist destination close to last month's VOR location.

  5. Lastly, this town is the final destination for some very bad people.

VOR

 

 

- This month's Navaid has the same identifier as the airport where it's located, which has airline service. The nearby town has the same name as a nickname for a large U.S. city. This clue should be "easy" to guess.

Certain airlines used to "CARP" when they had to hold over this place, even though they agreed to hold here before departure, if weather didn't clear at their destination to the south.
