NORFOLK, Neb. (AP) _ Norfolk will be getting a new name for its airport. The airport authority has decided to rename Karl Stefan Memorial Airport to Norfolk Regional Airport _ Karl Stefan Memorial Field. Karl Stefan was a U.S. congressman from Nebraska who served from 1935 until his death in October 1951. Airport board member Doris Kingsbury says the name change is primarily for cosmetic and advertising reasons and might attract more business. She says some potential customers pass up the airport because they think it's not a regional airport. The Nebraska Department of Aeronautics and Federal Aviation Administration will be notified about the name change.
