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

How many grade schools have become President?
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
Naming your kid after a shooting victim
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.
And two aircraft carriers.
Even has a brain port, how cool is that?
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?
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.
They did the same with Ronald Reagan!
They named him "National"?
Yes. His name was President Ronald Reagan National Airport.
Oh, the airport is just named "National". I think the rest is a typo.
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.
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...
OK, but imagine naming your child DCA?
That's wild. Idlewild.
My uncle is named after the same airport
I live near that airport and it fucking sucks,crazy traffic and the airtrain goes to my subwau stop so I have to deal with tourists if i want to take the e train
