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.

I'm sorry to hear that Salt Lake City International Airport. Who calls their kid that? It's just cruel.
