"MOPAR" air navigation checkpoint??
« on: April 28, 2015 - 06:58:24 PM »
I was flight planning a mission into Evreux Fauville France (LFOE) outside of Paris and I came across this air navigation checkpoint named "MOPAR" (lower right corner of picture). How cool is that? Never knew it was there before today. Who knew?!

Today I was planning a mission from the U.S. to Japan and I came across this air navigation checkpoint named "CUDDA" (The reason for the double-D spelling is that air navigation checkpoints have five characters) over southwestern Alaska. Kind of neat I think.
