WASHINGTON — The Federal Aviation Administration is dumping ************.
The agency said Thursday it intends to rename three navigation points near Palm Beach International Airport in ******* that currently are named for the billionaire and ********** presidential candidate.
It’s fairly common for the FAA to name such points, which are used by pilots and air traffic controllers, for local figures. ***** has a home in Palm Beach. In 2010, a local air traffic controller named the points DONLD, TRMMP and UFIRED. The last is a reference to the catchphrase “You’re *****” from *****’s reality TV show “The Apprentice.”
The FAA said in a statement that the agency generally chooses names that are non-controversial.
***** has been under **** for recent statements accusing many immigrants of being **** dealers and rapists.
