Welcome to SeaTac Washington!


To be more cryptic, one could just drop the city name and use the name of the person the airport was named for.

So John Wayne, Silvio Pettirossi or Cannon (airport for this last one has been renamed to something geographic, and the titular name given to the terminal building). Kingsford-Smith is probably too easy.
The list of airports named after people - eponyms - includes many that I wager would stump most FTers!
