Name that airport!

Here in the Mont many locals embark on air travel via the Southeast Texas Regional Airport - a quaint little transportation center that makes up for what it lacks in nominal quality with free parking, breeze-through security, and well-stocked vending machines.

However not all have as easy go at their local airports - especially if you're an unaccompanied minor on Continental these days.

The fact is that we kid our local airport for having a boring name, but it could be worse. According to this article - sent to us by MEvBLOG loyalist "NoGermsHere" - there are many foreign and domestic airports that are gravely titled. Some are only odd because of simple cultural differences but seeing as this is America, we'll make fun of them anyway.

Here's a list of some of our favs:

Batman Airport - Batman, Turkey - Instead of carts that transport the elderly (and sometimes those who are just plain lazy, let's be honest...) they have Bat-carts! Also, planes land in a cave and the air traffic control tower is a large mansion on the surface where lavish parties are held.

Mafia Airport - Mafia, Tanzania - Bada bing, you're in and out! No complaints and no questions asked.

Moron Airport - Argentina, Mongolia, & Spain - There's only three of them but, really, it seems like there's so many more.

Brest Airport - Brest, France - Shocking that it's French.

Dang Airport - Tribhuvannagar, Nepal - Named when someone tried to pronounce the arrival city.

Fort Dix Airport - South New Jersey - An homage to a large number of the men in its host state.

Slave Lake Airport - Alberta, Canada - Airport with the lowest number of Black travelers.

Deception Airport - North Quebec, Canada - An important stop for traveling politicians.

Colon Airport, Panama - Before you land flight attendants announce that, "This might be uncomfortable at first..."
