Five Badass Dudes with Airports Named After Them

John Wayne (SNA) Santa Ana, California—The Duke; inspired a generation of men to eschew fiber.

Charles Kingsford Smith (SYD) Sydney, Australia—Australia’s answer to Charles Lindbergh, Charles Kingsford Smith was the first to make the far more treacherous a trans-Pacific crossing from Australia to the United States in 1928.

Fiorello LaGuardia (LGA) New York, New York—New York’s first Italian mayor, who managed to cleanse the city of toughs like Lucky Luciano and oversaw the 1939 World’s Fair; no one dared mock him for his nickname, “The Little Flower”.

Alexander the Great Airport (SKP) Skopje, Macedonia—Conquered much of the known world before his death in 323 B.C., Alexander the Great also solved the puzzle of the Gordian Knot, tamed a wild mountain woman and made her into his bride.

Yeager Airprort (CRW) Charleston, West Virginia—The first man to break the sound barrier, people.
