    It’s the symbol for an outdoor amphitheater that would be reasonably identifiable from the air.

    Here’s a doc that will help with items that they can’t fit on the sectional legend/flap

    Thank you so much. I have that publication on my devices, but just missed the landmark feature page. Pops

    Years ago there was a four screen drive-in movie depicted on a sectional and TCA Chart (that’s what they were then). The way it was drawn made it look like a four pointed star. Asking someone to identify that symbol was always a great trick question.
