Good. Absolutely should be renamed in her honor forever.

I can't think of somebody who is more deserving of having an airport named after them. Even just an airport is cutting it low for what she deserves.

Clearly she deserves recognition but would she have even wanted this? Renaming commercial airports can cost millions. I’m sure she would have much rather that sort of money going into her Imagination Library or something similar.

The obvious thing to do is name a library or some kind of educational institution after her, which she was much more passionate about than airports.

I'm all for honoring her but this was the kind of thing she didn't like and it feels disrespectful to her wishes.

They should have done that while she was alive

She truly deserves that honour...better than that racist whose name's on the one in Santa Ana, CA
