About Me
Why I started Fixipedia.
Fixipedia exists because so many aviation waypoint names have stories behind them--but unless you're local, those stories are often lost.
The idea is simple: no one knows their home airport better than the people who fly in and out of it every day.
By bringing that local knowledge together, Fixipedia becomes a collaborative effort to preserve and share the meaning behind the names we all see, but don't always understand.
