The Clinton National Airport near Little Rock, Arkansas, was named after the former Presidential couple in 2012 to honour Mr Clinton, a former Governor of the State.

The airport, also known as Adams Field, shot to infamy in 2013 after a survey ranked the airport as the worst of 67 domestic airports in the US.
