On June 20, 1979, the Orange County Board of Supervisors renamed Orange County Airport to John Wayne Airport.

Sad thing is, that would never happen today. They'd name it after some "oppressed" illegal alien who died in the desert because the gringos failed to rescue him .

That would probably still happen today, because while it may no longer be the hotbed of Republican conservatism that it was in the 1960's and 1970's, Orange remains a "red" county. However, I hope none of the supervisors in neighboring Los Angeles County read your post--it might give them ideas as to renaming LAX.
