How about

Alexander The Great Airport - Former Yugoslav Republic Of Macedonia

oh and how did they miss Bongo?

or Boone - hes a legend! (apparently)
 
I didn't realise there was an airport at Useless Loop. I had a look on Google Earth and sure enough, there is an airstrip there. The terminal facilities at "Useless loop International Airport" seem to consist of a carport and a long drop dunny.

It's only 23 km east of Steep Point so it's very likely the Westernmost airstrip on mainland Australia.

HBA has had direct flights to NZ in the past.
 
How about John Lennon International in Liverpool. :P
