Speaking of renaming things, there's an airport in D.C.

[phylny]

that I’d like to have its name reverted to its original name.

And I will never call it anything but Washington National Airport.

1. Ask any air traffic controller what they call DCA.

4. I never have either and yet to have a airline rep try to correct me....

I think the sentiment is very common.

5. Locals

For a long time, the locals just called it "National". It was National, Dulles, and BWI.

8. Still is!

[phylny]

9. Yes, National it is. n/t

[empedocles]

6. Agree.

I despise the highway directional signs.

The giant Reagan statue at the airport entrance ought to get knocked down, but post November.

7. YES, NATIONAL Airport!

THANKS!

10. I used to work there, and if anyone states its current name

within my hearing, I politely correct them.

I recall when BWI was Baltimore Friendship airport. A much better name.

[Sherman A1]

11. Same here

It is Washington National

[RT Atlanta]

12. i still refer to it as this

and couldnt stand the re-naming of places after ronnie during the rea-gasm that followed his death

How about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. International Airport?
