But yeah, they should start a campaign to officially migrate people over to the new name :-) That's a good point, but I can also see their side — museums have enough trouble getting visitors and funds as it is.

That's most likely due to the widespread use by the press. There's more about it in the film. However, I do feel that the museum, with it's appreciation of aviation history, has the responsibility to encourage use of the proper name.

I didn't really know that it had another name.
