'O.C.' airport idea doesn't fly
A proposal to rename John Wayne International Airport in Orange County, CA after TV show The O.C. has been dropped, it was confirmed today.

The proposed name was The O.C. Airport - John Wayne Field, designed to associate the airport and the county more closely with the hit TV show. However, Orange County supervisor Chris Norby has dropped the idea after receiving a barrage of negative reaction.

Norby explained to the Los Angeles Times: "Let's just say it was a trial balloon. It crashed and burned."
