I've enjoyed almost every single one of John Wayne's movies.

If the naming of the airport (which I find one of the easiest to get in and out of and love its close proximity to an Embassy Suites, which is great for family travel) is based on his work in film...I have no problem with it.

However, to be fair, the plaque on the statue should also, IMHO... include his racist/bigoted/xenophobic personal viewpoints.

Think of it as..."truth in advertising."
