     Alternatively, we could always rename other airports in honor of Barry Goldwater & Charles de Gaulle. Tongue

NO!! I wouldn't support anything other than restoring the earlier names of the Washington airports.

You want it to just be Washington National Airport again? Interesting.

^^^^

The airport was named after the country's first president until 1998, when Republicans in Congress forced it to change its name against the wishes of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority and the people of D.C. and NoVA.

I said "earlier", that is, their names immediately before this bill passed, not "original".

You see that little red county at the top there? Arlington County? Yeah, that's where the airport is located.

Political leaders elected by the people don't speak for the people? Okay dude...

And considering that the local governments of Northern Virginia and DC are not represented in this game at all I don't really know how you expect us to listen to their input.
