Meet Kilo-Charlie @ JFK, he's new here

[rekno13]

If you land on 22R and go too far, you will meet Kilo Charlie (And I guess if you take off on 4L)
Here is a sampling of 22R landings that used KC with silence removed. Enjoy!

Makes me wonder, if KC just dead ends into KK, why they didn't just name it an extension of KK instead....for simplicity (kind of like how Zulu does it's craziness at the end of 22L but keeps the same name).

But then again, I'm no airportologist or anything...

My guess is because of how confusing that area around the Kilos may be and they wanted to clearly distinguish that section.  But hey, maybe the reason is more "scientific" than that.
