Officially Official: Las Vegas McCarran Airport Renamed After Harry Reid

Having read the article referred to in this squawk, I cannot help but feel that "Las Vegas International Airport" would have been better for the long term.

Conversely, I recall the line in the asteroid-apocalypse film "Deep Armageddon" (yes, I know two films came out at the same time in the late 1990s) - "Well, we'll all have high schools named after us".

As an aside, here in the northwest of the UK, Manchester International Airport is always referred to, locally, as "Ringway".

I had never heard of McCarran until I read the book "The Last Million". McCarren, a long dead senator known for anti-Semitism and overall a disagreeable man. Probably should not have named an airport for him in the first place.

Will we ever live in a time where we can both recognize someone's faults and their positive contributions to society?

Wonder if the airport sign is complete with the official eye patch.

Yuck, why?

Proud to say, I will never land there again, nor be that obtuse.
