JFK Tower Open Discussion
Comments, questions, and suggestions for travel, air traffic, and aviation.
Not NY, sorry, I only know ZDV type stuff 
BAYLR - Don Baylor, first manager of the Colorado Rockies
ZIMMR - Don Zimmer, rather famous baseball coach, also of the Rocks at one time.
SHATZ - Contracted last name of the guy who designed Denver TRACON and Class B Airspace. An FAF at Erie Tri-County airport (48V).
FSHER - Of the Deberry 1 STAR into Colorado Springs, named after the Head Coach of the Air Force Academy Fighting Falcons football team, located in Colorado Springs.
NIWOT - Suspiciously close to Niwot, CO
HYGEN - Suspiciously close to Hygiene, CO
GORJE - Suspiciously close to the Royal Gorge Bridge (Highest suspension bridge in US (world?)).
VAILE - On the LOC DME-C approach to EGE, Eagle Co. Regional, and, well, suspiciously close to Vail, CO. 
LISSN and LOUDD - Not as glamorous, but, cool enough that they're part of the DECI-BELLE Two DP (DCBEL2.DEN) out of Denver International. A rarely used, noise abatement DP for use only by Stage II aircraft departing to the south. See the play on words?
SARAH, TAILR, GWENS, IRINE, JOULE (pronounced Julie), and ETHAL - Names (or close to) of significant others of the controllers/staff in the Denver area.
There's many more out there... some take some thinking, others are obvious!
