The Will Rogers World Airport in OKC is the only airport in the world named
for someone who died in a plane crash. In this ironic vein, I regularly use,
as an example of a failed IT project, the "Amelia Earhart" baggage handling
system at the Boulder Colorado airport.
But the first statement is not quite true. OKC also boasts the Wiley Post
Airport, which relieves business and corporate traffic from Will Rogers
World Airport http://www.flyokc.com/w.r.w.a/wileypostairport.html. And, not
to be outdone, Barrow, AK boasts the Wiley Post - Will Rogers Memorial (!)
Airport http://www.airnav.com/airport/brw.
And we thought HP marketing was bad.
I'll be having lunch at the "Heimlich All-You-Can-Eat Buffet", "Big Meaty
Portions Our Speciality", "Be Sure to Bring a Friend", "Maneuver On Over to
the Heimlich".

Wiley Post was the pilot who died with Will Rogers,
and an otherwise remarkable individual in his own right
