NOTE: THE CACHE ISN'T AT THE POSTED COORDINATES!

Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Wind0w and I’m your chief caching attendant for today. On behalf of the entire crew, welcome aboard GC Airlines flight 53YHW, non-stop service from wherever you are to a successful find of a well sized cache :)

To find the cache, you'll need to learn to speak the way pilots communicate with ground control, i.e. to use NATO phonetic alphabet. 

The NATO phonetic alphabet is a spelling alphabet used by airline pilots, police, the military, and other officials when communicating over radio or telephone. The purpose of the phonetic alphabet is to ensure that letters are clearly understood. (about.com)

The coordinates are available here or here. Use the following table
