Officially Official: Las Vegas McCarran Airport Renamed After Harry Reid
The Federal Aviation Administration has officially recognized Las Vegas's airport as Harry Reid International Airport. (www.gatechecked.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
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.
Well, he originally bought it, so...
Will we ever live in a time where we can both recognize someone's faults and their positive contributions to society?
They have to have some positive contributions to recognize.
Wonder if the airport sign is complete with the official eye patch.
Yuck, why?
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".
