    But look at how many people named after airports (and grade schools) became president. It’s like a shortcut to success.

        Which is probably the worst airport in New York. But I’m always fascinated by the name.

        For who doesn’t know, it can be translated as “the guardian” or “the guarding”.

          Oh, the airport is just named “National”. I think the rest is a typo.

    I always wondered why they decided to honor the memory of John Wayne Gacy by naming an airport after him.
