Today’s trivia—unlike so, so many passengers stuck in long airport lines—is ready for takeoff.

And by the way, did you know that at least seven airports in the United States are named for people who perished in aviation accidents? Ellen uncovered this in her reporting.

Some of the namesakes are military heroes who died in battle, such as Edward O’Hare, who gave his name to Chicago’s airport. But others are just people who died in commercial crashes! Oklahoma City’s Will Rogers and Wiley Post airports are even named after two people who died in the same crash. So—maybe take the bus to OKC.

Until tomorrow!
