Could The Killeen, Texas Airport Change Its Name Soon?

There's no shortage of places for people to take to the skies. By that we mean we get onto an airplane, not actually fly of course. One of those places located in Central Texas, located right here in Killeen, Texas, is none other than the aptly named Killeen-Fort Hood Regional Airport.

In fact, my first visit to Central Texas involved me flying into the airfield of Killeen, so I've been inside the establishment. It is indeed different from the airport I basically grew up in Atlanta, but it's rather nice to experience different airports in the nation and world. However, the world and the places around it are always changing of course.

The airport in Killeen in no different, and soon it could be changing the name on it's sign. But what could the name be?

According to the Killeen Daily Herald, the discussions have already begun for a change of name. Using data collected from items like focus group sessions and internet research to name a few, the City Council of Killeen has some potential names on the table already.

The Daily Herald reports that two names have emerged as top choices: Greater Killeen Regional Airport at number one, while Killeen Regional Airport is number two. The chance to keep the airport's name as-is is also possible according to the report.
