Still, the city was named after------you get the point.

By the way, those of us who grew up in the DC area, and flew out of National for decades, NEVER call it "Reagan." ALWAYS "National." Reagan hated us, and we hated him. Calling our local airport "Reagan" was a perversion that only out-of-town Republicans would have thought up.

I was pleasantly surprised last Sunday when checking in for our flight from Seattle to Washington to see that the flight was listed on the departure table as going to "Washington National" instead of "Washington Reagan." At least one airline cares about the people they are serving rather than a bunch of Republican congressmen.
