For today’s Wednesday Who, we will be taking a look at Heriberto Jara Corona, whose name was adopted for Veracruz International Airport (VER) in Mexico.

Kansas City, Missouri’s New Airport Terminal is Opening This Month
Way back in 2013, with the goal of trying to eat as much KC barbeque as possible, I flew to Kansas City, MO’s international airport (MCI).
