How Do Ya Spell That?

In Elaine Kauh’s article, “Plans Change,” in the January issue of IFR Magazine, there is an error in the route that Elaine lists for the flight: “You play defensive and file to go around all of that while including outbound, enroute and inbound checkpoints: RANDO DLL HERMNN WEASL.”
