Well before the change, there were proposals to name FAT after such longtime pols as B.F. Sisk and Ted Wills, but they (thankfully) never went anywhere.



Also, when the name did get changed, the city did inquire as to what would be involved to change the designation to FYI, but they quickly abandoned the idea.

It's too bad that one of the Houston airports was not named after beloved Houston philanthropist Ima Hogg. :D

The last - very recently - happened name change was that Zurich Airport finally dropped "Unique" and went back to "Zurich Airport" (Flughafen Zürich) - Unique was probably the most stupid name ever for an airport, which caused massive confusion with quite a few pax.

After several years wearing that name, they must have found out they got cheated by some marketing guys, who probably got millions for that "idea"...

While we're at it, let's dump Lindbergh from MSP.
