John Wayne Airport Name Has Got to Go Now Say Democrats
Yep another casuality of The NWO Democrats.Your weapons are next! Your So-called Conservative Supreme Court members will fold on this issue soon enough. To keep the peace.
serf
The Democratic Party of Orange County is demanding that John Wayne’s name be removed from the regional airport.
“Orange County is now a diverse region far different from the time when John Wayne was chosen as namesake,” the California Democrats said in a statement. “The removal of racist symbols provides a necessary process for communities to remember historic actors of violence and recognize victims of oppression.”

Pilots said OC was a particularly difficult take off, due to the steep climb to avoid making noise for the Newport Beach residents. And yet they had a great safety record (so I'm told).
I used to paddle the back bay alot in my kayak, and then paddle into the harbor too. I was told John Waynes place and yacht was still there. That was where and when I fell in love with sailing. I'd paddle up to the yachts and other boats and chat with them
I flew out of OC, (John Wayne as I knew it) I liked it just fine. just wasn't worth the trouble to go to LAX for domestic flights.
They would bring in war birds fairly often. Some friends of mine were heavy into all things military, I was more into the mechanics of it, not so much the history.
I have some fond memories of OC. Glad I got out when I did. I used to target shoot at Duarte quite often with friends. Did you ever shoot there?
