F.A.A. to Drop Donald Trump-Related Navigation Codes
NYTimes ^ | July 9, 2015 | KAREN SCHWARTZ

Three navigation coordination points above Palm Beach International Airport that had been named in honor of Donald J. Trump will be renamed, the Federal Aviation Administration said Wednesday.

“In general, the F.A.A. chooses names that are noncontroversial,” said an agency spokeswoman, Laura Brown.

A growing number of businesses have been severing ties with Mr. Trump since the Republican presidential candidate made derogatory remarks about Mexican immigrants in a campaign speech. That includes NBC, which aired Mr. Trump’s show, “The Apprentice.”

In 2010, an air traffic controller who was a fan of Mr. Trump’s reality show and its catchphrase, “You’re fired,” named some of the navigation points that pilots use for takeoff from the airport DONLD, TRMMP and UFIRD.

And when he croaks, they won’t be able to bury him anywhere. Not in the United States of Perpetually Offended.

So now the Federal government is piling on to Trump too?

I guess the IRS has a team of 20 people digging through his past filings, and the NSA probably has a task force working to find some dirt on him too.

If only liberals had enough sense to understand the dangers in this sort of thing... but I guess they figure it's all great since it's being used against conservatives.

We actually have had reports of people refusing to fly these departures because they are so offended by the fact that Trump has been memorialized,”

I believe they're lying.

Rename the public schools? I doubt it.

More than half the cities in this country have streets named after the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King even though he was an adulterer and plagiarized more than 40% of his dissertation. He would have had his doctorate rescinded if he were any other color.

I assume they ran this Story right below the one about the Illegal Invader who killed his Ex Girlfriend and burned her five year old son to death ISIS style.

The NY Times LIES

Here is a 2010 story containing the “We actually have had reports of people refusing to fly these departures because they are so offended by the fact that Trump has been memorialized” remark.

So this “refusal to fly these departures” has NOTHING to do with current events.

Yes, but since it’s Palm Beach ANYONE who knew the codes likely was both offended and uptight enough to complain.

Codes?

Air traffic intersections. Commercial planes fly routes between these waypoints.
These points are given names and pilots check in when reaching the waypoint .
May be names ie. , Lulu, Oscar, Dig, Creo, etc.

“Fly into Kalakaket Creek AS in Alaska. That’s KKK.”

Even better, check out the identifier for the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport in Little Rock. KLIT. Sometimes these things just write themselves.

Let’s rename the FAA the Fascist Aviation Administration. We can draw little swastikas wherever this smelly, left wing bureaucracy is located.
