Never seen such an outpouring of glee for the death of somebody.
There was this much glee when Reagan died as well.

It's still "National" to me.

Same here. I refuse to call it anything but.

Ditto. I never call it by the "official" name.

Do you say MCI Center or Verizon Center.  BWI used to be called Friendship Airport.  I guess no one minds that name change.

BWI is officially the Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, you damn racist.

That is a lot to say.  And it sucks they have next to no international flighs and southwest runs the joint.  I have to drive up to PHL or IAD.   I don't even know what PHL stands for.

PHL = Philadelphia, but I know that you really do know that.

I use to always call BWI Friendship until I was a travel agent which then required me to say BWI, or it's full name before the change. I've never called it by it's full name since because it's just way too much of a mouthful. BWI it is unless I'm talking to someone who needs the details to where it is located.

Probably true. But there was no Twitter on which to express it. Should have said "never seen this much glee concentrated in one place for the death of someone." There was that Ween show at the Club the night before his funeral where Gene paraded around in a Reagan mask somebody tossed onstage to Dean playing Hail to the Chief after calling him "the man of the hour."

Never seen such an outpouring of glee for the death of somebody.
There was this much glee when Reagan died as well.

And yes. National forever.
One of the weekend weather guys on Channel 4 refuses to call it anything but National. Nothing but respect to that man.

I use the Virgin America direct flight to and from SFO out of National at least 4 times a years.  It's probably the best flight between the DC Area and the Bay Area there is.
