Scott - no, it's still Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena (just referred to as "Burbank" by most Californians, used to be called Hollywood-Burbank back in the day... ahhh, the memories)...though it would be cool if they did name it Hope Airport, both for him and for the cool connotations!

Huck -

Scott is right, Burbank Airport will be changed to Bob Hope Airport ...

Mike - the key words being "will be."  It's not yet.
Scott said "renamed."

NEVER mess with me when discussing things I ought to know better than someone who lives 3000 miles away... and never try to catch me being wrong.  That doesn't happen, remember?

Ah, but Tom, the fact is that you didn't know that it was going to be changed and I did (I just didn't know when it was effective) - and I'm clear across the country.   ;D

Wait a second.  That article said it could be effective before the end of (last) year.

UPDATE:  I just called the airport, it is officially Bob Hope Airport.  Nyaah, Nyaah.   8)

Scott:  you win the battle, but I win the war.  BTW, I have yet to hear ANYONE refer to it as "Hope".  So whatever the hell they wan't to call it, it's not used yet... if it ever will be.

But more importantly, I got you to actually make a long-distance phone call to settle this matter of world importance.

Same thing at Reagan National.  5 years later (or however long it's been), and everyone still calls it National.  Same thing for John Wayne.  It's still "Orange County".

I bet most people up your way still call the 49ers' stadium "Candlestick"?  I know I do.

As a long time Washingtonian I refuse to call it anything other than National.  It is one of the most convienent big city airports in that it is just a couple of miles from downtown.  After renaming it Reagan I'm surprised the planes can still find the runway!  ;)

Scott -

Unfortunately, you are wrong on this one ... it is Candlestick Park (again) as the 3-Com deal expired and no over-funded dot.com was still in business to throw there name on "The Stick".

Now PacBell Park is a different deal ... they have taken down the old PacBell signage and will be putting up the SBC moniker ... it probably will always be called PacBell by the locals ...

I hate being right on these things  ;D ;D ;D

Mike,

How am I wrong?  I stated that most people still call it Candlestick.  Is that not true?  I never mentioned 3Com.   ;)

It will always be National to me. they could name the Burbank/Hope the Bernhardt airport and I would not care and still call it Burbank. Now back to the important things like golf food and drink and golf architecture.

"after renaming it Reagan, I am surprised the planes can still find the airport". Now that is funny. Gee and people thought it was innapropriate to refer to Dean with a name.

Lou,

John Wayne Airport is at least 75 miles and a hell of a lot of traffic away from Rustic Canyon.

That's sure as hell what I thought also, David... but if he gets a good price into there, well... one does what one must.

I also am waiting for Scott to come in and correct both of us!

TH

ps - just remember also JW is quite a bit south of LA, Rustic, and points farther north from there.  Allow LOTS of time to get there for the return, if that's what you choose.. about an hour more than each of Burbank and LAX, maybe less if you're lucky.

Tom,

I already mentioned that JW was a long trek (see above), you guys are basically reiterating/confirming what I said.

FWIW, I made it from 10 miles closer than JW to Rustic in 1:15 on a very early morning weekday.

Heck, Ontario (ONT) is the same distance away from Burbank and would be a far easier drive, traffic wise, as you can avoid going through LA ... and the upside is that you get to drive close to if not through the town where the Huckster grew up (waiting to be corrected on this assumption ...)

I knew you couldn't resist, Scott!  And your helicopter trip is the stuff of legend.

 ;D ;D

Hmmm... had to think about this for a minute but yes, well done Mr. Benham, although I'm guessing you got the exact hometown incorrect... Yes, Mr. Duran will have to drive through beautiful NORTH HOLLYWOOD to get to either Burbank or Ontario airports... and re the former, he'll get within a mile of where my parents still live.  Watch out for all the plaques and historic monuments marking my achievements.

 ;D ;D ;D

Huck,

What an honor that would be!  Just follow the highway and street markers to your house?  Do you think that your parents would actually let may lay in your bed for just a brief moment?  Where do I buy my ticket?  I'll even light a few candles at the altar.

My current reservations are to Orange County because AA has a specila mileage deal (20,000), and the times work out well.  I will check into other area airports, but this poor, Bushwacked boy has to mind his pennies.  Life can be real harsh some times.  ;)

Thanks for all the input.

I dunno Lou... tickets go pretty fast and I just can't give sweetheart deals to just everyone... but since you so capably remembered to bring candles for the altar, we'll find a way to squeeze you in.  Best viewing times for the Huckaby artificacts are around lunchtime, as my mother puts out the typical school lunch our hero had.  You have not lived until you've managed to stomach a peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwich.   ;D

Re all the rest, oh yes, get good airfare rate, will travel, I say.  Just do factor in a bit more ground time, that's all... that is unless you have Scott B. to drive you around.

Peanut butter with mayo and an inch or so of lorraine lettuce when in season.

How about strawberry shortcake with milk for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the late spring?


Scott,

Warning: being my chaffeur can be hazardous to your health.  And if you expect to get somewhere, if I am driving the best I can offer is a 50/50 chance of getting there.

I will check my schedule, but I would love to play if I can.  Since I currently live in Palm Desert, California, I don't see any reason why I shouldn't play.  Keep me posted on any info on the Rustic Canyon.

Cheers,

John
