I call it "Reagan National." I will be flying out of there next weekend actually for a business trip.

I can understand a newbie referring to National as Reagan National, but the real question is who actually refers to the CIA building in Langley as the "Bush Center for Intelligence"?

No. It's named for the elder Bush, not for Dubya.

I definitely call it "National Airport". And Whole Foods was "Fresh Fields" until about last year. And how many of you still shop at The Price Club?

LOL at Price Club. We were heading to the Costco in Fairfax the other day and our GPS said that it was located on "Price Club Drive". The sign is posted at Costco, but we got a good laugh.

I must say that this newbie appreciates the clarification on DCA!! I'm flying out of there in the morning! I'm with the poster that said "the other one".

It is Reagan National....get over it. Glad they paid the honor to one of our country's Greatest Presidents! He should be on Mt. Rushmore as well.
