The folks at the airport are considering renaming the airport in the hope of improving its image so what would you call it?

I would lean towards "regionalization" and call it the "Mahoning County Regional Airport".

Folks in Trumbull County would not like that. I mean the airport does lie in Vienna Township in the heart of Trumbull County.

I wholeheartedly support the Northeast Ohio Regional Airport.

Mahoning Valley Airport

I'd put this on their FB page but didn't see how without befriending them...... And I have too many "junk" friends already.

Maybe we should just patronize Akron-Canton and leave Vienna to the C-130s.  Isn't it green not to have duplication of services?
