caeagle, Did you miss the fact the airport voted on a name change back in March of this year. Voted unanimously to change the name from Little Rock National Airport to Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport. The only thing the writer of this story got wrong was switching the order of the names Bill and Hillary, and also using a plural form of plane in the first sentence of the story when only one plane had an emergency landing.

First and foremost , hope the person is okay now. Secondly, you guys at Fox 16 need to do better stories than that- honestly!! I agree with the other two comments- Little Rock National Airport is it- Afterall- Clinton already has a library, plus, they DONT even LIVE in LR anymore.. Are they toooo embarrassed to live here? I am a news savy person, YET, the media is a joke in this day and age. LOL There are MUCH more important stories out there FOX16.

I hear they have a great cigar shop and the women that work there all wear blue dresses. The best selling cigar is the Lewinsky. I hear it tastes like &*it tho.
