It was Washington National now it’s that other name that also ends in National. The airport is in Virginia but controlled by congress. I’d put renaming this airport pretty far down on the list of priorities. I almost never end up hearing its real name anyway. Just call it DCA

I agree the likelihood of an official renaming approaches zero. It's just very funny to hear how people refer to it. It's a kind of dog whistle. People (like me) who refuse to say Reagan, and then the other folks, who consist of Republicans or totally apolitical types.
