Airports and Alcoholics

BEDFORD ROAD: Apparently if you fly into Northern Ireland you land at the George Best International Airport. For those of you who reside in the non-football playing world, Best was a Northern Ireland winger who came to prominence in the 1960's. Renowned for his flowing locks and rugged good looks, he preceded to drink himself into oblivion. A sample quote reads: "In 1969 I gave up women and alcohol and it was the worst 20 minutes of my life." He died last year of some type of alcohol related disease.

Now obviously they couldn't have the Bobby Sands International Airport, but an alcoholic ex-footy player? So I'm throwing the forum open to my readers: Can you think of a more ridiculously named airport in the world. Real or not. For instance the Rocky International Airport in Philadelphia, Pol Pot Memorial Airport in Phnom Phen or maybe the Harry Truman terminal in Hiroshima.

It's up to you.

I know its an obvious choice but perhaps Logan International Airport could be renamed to reflect its most famous passenger and become

Mohammed Atta International Airport.
