So, thinking about some of the airports mentioned here, what do you guys think of airports where they give it a place name that's less than accurate? For example, there's Fresno-Yosemite Airport, which is in Fresno. It's more than 60 miles from the south entrance to Yosemite National Park and over 90 miles to Yosemite Valley. Reno decided to call their airport Reno-Tahoe Airport, even though it's about 30 miles to Lake Tahoe. I guess the oddest one was when San Joaquin County was discussing renaming their airport San Francisco-Stockton Regional Airport.
This article mentions other airports brought up by the consultant who recommended the name change for Stockton Airport. Names like Chicago Rockford Airport and Orlando Melbourne Airport were mentioned as airports where a larger city name was tacked on for more visibility.
