The navigation facility at Kahului, Maui, Hawaii, was designated OGG in honor Jim Hogg, a former Hawaiian Airlines pilot. In 1946, Hogg became the Chief Pilot for the airline. Hogg has flown so many of the test flights for the facility (a VOR - VHF Omnidirectional Range) that it was decided to name the Navigation Facility after him. He chose OGG rather than HOG. The Kahului Airport is traditionally also designated OGG by IATA and FAA, but the ICAO identifier is PHOG for some reason (Honolulu is HNL and the ICAO identifier is PHNL - the P signifying Pacific Oceana).
