The airport is named after Edward "Butch" O'Hare, the U.S. Navy's first flying ace and Medal of Honor recipient in World War II. The Air Classics Museum restored the F6F Hellcat in 2001 to look like the exact one that O'Hare flew. The restored Wildcat is exhibited in Terminal Two at the west end of the ticketing lobby to honor O'Hare International Airport's namesake.
