Harold Holt was an Australian PM who disappeared at sea, presumably drowned.
We named a pool after him
Herbert Hoover got a vacuum named after him
I don’t live in the USA, but isn’t that a spaceport?
He has an air port and a space port. All kinds of ports
The man did love slipping into a different port every night.
Even has a brain port, how cool is that?
And two aircraft carriers.
John F Kennedy International is an airport in New York City
There are many buildings that Kennedy is named for.
You mean the one next to terraformed Mars.
Naming your kid after a shooting victim
I heard he was named after a street!!
I heard he was named aftet a library
I heard his family was named after a band.
I share a name with a local airport. It’s pretty embarrassing.
That’s nothing to be embarrassed about, La Guardia.
Which is probably the worst airport in New York. But I’m always fascinated by the name.
For who doesn’t know, it can be translated as “the guardian” or “the guarding”.
I’m sorry to hear that Salt Lake City International Airport. Who calls their kid that? It’s just cruel.
They did the same with Ronald Reagan!
I always wondered why they decided to honor the memory of John Wayne Gacy by naming an airport after him.
Jeff Key?
The Kennedy name continues with RFK Jr.
Interesting times…
If it’s good enough for John Lennon…
That’s wild. Idlewild.
My uncle is named after the same airport
OK, but imagine naming your child DCA?

But look at how many people named after airports became president. It's like a shortcut to success.
