Rename John Wayne Airport?

The purpose of airports is for people to leave them as quickly as possible. Accordingly, they are all horrible, and they should be named after horrible people.

"We're now arriving at That Guy in the Flex-Seal Commercials International Airport. Our gate agents will be standing by to assist you in getting the **** out of there, which you'll definitely want to do."

NO, because this means we'd end up with the Donald J. Trump Airport.
And I just can't fly in to that.
 
I just looked up its airport code. It's actually the Santa Ana airport-so hello SNAX!!
 
Buddy Holly or John Denver would be good choices.

John Denver? The guy who crashed the plane he was flying and died?

Maybe not the best name for an airport.

At least Buddy Holly wasn't responsible for the crash that killed him.

Oh history .. our main city square had many names. Masaryk square (first president), Adolf Hitler-ring, Stalin square, Square of Peace, and now it's simply the Upper square (which it was before Masaryk).
I'd say if you realize the guy was not really worth it, change it. Change it to something which is not someone's name if you want to improve the odds it will stick.
 
Anybody here actually live in Orange County?

I'm not far way. I'm not far enough away...

The biggest issue with the airport for nearby residents are noise complaints (which are jumping because new routes were approved). I doubt they care much what we choose to call it.

[cain]George Washington owned 123 slaves and leased more 40 slaves from a neighbour. You should rename everything that has this slave-owning bastard's name on it.... the city, the state, the university, and tear down all his statues and memorials all over the country. Erase his name from history books and pretend like he never existed. Then you can start to pretend that slavery never happened, so that all the lessons you learned from that experience are lost forever.[/cain]

Given the current political climate, I'd be happier with South British Columbia.
Especially if we could be part of Canada, the way the Brits wanted back in the 54/40 fight. We could leave the West Idaho part of the state in the USA, just set the boundary at the Columbia all the way along.
 
Being from Washington State, I can fully support this. Seriously, this just gets too confusing too often.

I've wondered why people insist on referring to it as "Washington" when "D.C." manages to distinguish between the two easily, and even manages to be shorter. And actually, that's exactly what most of the local residents refer to it as - to the point where "the DMV" is locally understood to mean "the DC, Maryland, and Virginia area".
