Aviation waypoints

Data is Plural: “Aviation waypoints. For his recent exploration of the FAA’s aviation maps, Beautiful Public Data’s Jon Keegan has turned the agency’s list of 67,000+ navigation waypoints into a downloadable dataset. “Often these waypoint names will reflect the culture, food or sports teams of the city they are near,” Keegan writes. “Off the coast of New England, there is LBSTA and WHALE. Boston’s sports legacy gave us BOSOX, BRUWN, CELTS, PATSS, FENWY, ORRRR and BORQE. Salem has WITCH, and Plymouth has PLGRM.”
