Lets rename Calgary International Airport

[Captain_Canuck]

Lets rename the Calgary International Airport to Lanny McDonald International Airport!

What do you all think of that?

[RVgrin]

How about renaming it "Hotel California". You can check [in] anytime you like, but you can never leave!

[Moose47]

How about its original name - McCall Field

Cheers...Chris

I vote for "Billy Bishop International".
You just can't have too many Billy Bishop airports. I'm just sayin......

[Randleman]

I'm a little confused as to the point of this thread and how it started...is this some kind of "hate Calgary" thing?

[gulfan]

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to rename CEL4 to that since he's from Hanna?

[bmc]

Since we are bilingual nation, isn't it appropriate that it gets a french name?

Just asking?

[Panama Jack]

How about "Stephen Joseph Harper International Airport." They named the one in Houston the "George H.W. Bush International Airport" and the one in Washington the "Ronald Reagan International Airport" so why now go with the righty conservative flavor?

bmc, you sure know how to try to stir it up, don't you?

Who is Lanny McDonald? Can't figure out why it makes me think of this guy:

I'd tought one of the first suggestions would be Cowtown?

How about "Big Smoke International"

Le Cowtown

See...it's translatable

[Stoptheworld]

Isn't it obvious you foolish people. Call YUL Dorval again (like they want) and call YYC Trudeau International or perhaps Chretien International. For the magnificent contribution those two have made to the Alberta economy (or perhaps to western seperatism)

Ken Lieshman International

How about "Big Smoke International"

Big Smoke should be for YYZ.

How bout "Clive Field" for all you Westjetters? You do not even have to change the IATA code YYC = Y (not) Clive.

All kidding aside, I agree with McAll field.

Ed Whalen Ring-A-Ding-Dong-Dandy Airport

[flyincanuck]

Big smoke should be for YHM. YYZ doesn't hold a candle to steel town.

Awesome quote re: Billy Bishop. That's my vote!

[sigmet77]

I'm thinking 1 cup International.

He's arguably the greatest hockey player of all time. My vote is for Lanny McDonald International.

That is a joke, right?

Absolutely agree, never too many. Plus, we've got a Billy Bishop Regional, Billy Bishop City, but there's no Billy Bishop International Airport, something to think about...

But he don't have a mustache.

[WetJet]

One more vote for Billy Bishop International! Just cause there are two in Ontario doesn't mean Alberta can't have one!

[flyinhigh]

I say Mercer International.

[linecrew]

I say Mercer International.

Whay does it have a back course approach? bah-ZZZING!
