#4 When I first arrived in Baltimore many years ago I flew into Friendship Airport. It had been Friendship since the 1930s, when it started. People used to "fly into Friendship."

At some point the legislature decided Thurgood Marshall needed something named after him. Rather than build something and name it after him they renamed the airport Thurgood Marshall Baltimore-Washington International Airport or some windy variation.

People now fly into BWI.
