Dolly Parton and Keanu Reeves are probably the two most likeable celebrities.

If you’re gonna name an airport after Trump, then Palm Beach International is the way to go. I’d figure the airport in Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg would be appropriate for Dolly. I’d vote for Nashville if I lived in TN.

There is still a group who wants the current name to remain since he was a WWI vet, which is completely reasonable

The current name is Nashville International Airport, isn't it? The IATA designation could remain BNA even if they name the airport for Dolly. It hasn't been Berry Field in years. Just like Atlanta has stayed ATL after adding Hartsfield and Jackson's name to it.

You don’t name airports after people that are still alive.
I’ll petition for Memphis Int’l to be Elvis Presley International.

Dolly Parton expressed her support for Black Lives Matter in an interview with Billboard, saying that while she hasn't attended any marches this summer, she supports the protest movement and its push for racial justice.

"I understand people having to make themselves known and felt and seen," she told the magazine. "And of course Black lives matter. Do we think our little white asses are the only ones that matter? No!"

Both my parents and in-laws have been married for 57 years… and I can name at least a dozen of my high school classmates with parents in the same boat. It’s more common than you think.

A couple of nights ago I got stuck at a shipper on Harding Industrial Drive and had to finish off my reset at their warehouse. At 10pm Nashville International changed runways and started landing planes from the south on 2C, planes were passing over my truck at about 50'. Didn't get much sleep after that.

All I got.

Not from Tennessee, but, I like the idea. Especially if they get it done while she's still around to see it.

please make the ICAO code TITS


Also have to redesign the terminal to look like a rack like these bridges near Mobile.



Unlike MSY, that some say looks like the front of a bikini.

I’d book a flight to Nashville just to see her landing strip.

Maybe they can plant some bushes or small trees around the runway to achieve this. Or do we go nuclear and shave off everything and cement around the entire runway or use gravel to prevent any grass or growth around the runway. Otherwise there will always be a little brush around the runway, just have to maintain it so it doesn’t go 70’s bush around the runway.

Now, thanks to yours truly.

I'm obviously supporting this decision as I live in TN and Dolly is our Idol here.
