Fun fact: the Albuquerque International Sunport was almost called the "Albuquerque Enchantoport" after a public naming competition in the 1960s.

The Trump Administration wants to leave its mark on Washington’s Dulles airport, even potentially replacing the iconic (but not landmarked) Eero Saarinen-designed main terminal.

There is no need to reinvent the wheel at Dulles. As Edward says, fast track MWAA's plan! The quicker we can get rid of the (always planned to be 'temporary' C & D terminals) the happier everyone will be.

And DO NOT TOUCH the front of the gorgeous main terminal.
"The real zinger of all this is MWAA already has a plan for Dulles ... The most logical, and probably cost-effective, way to modernize Dulles would be to fast-track that plan."
