The Rio de Janeiro International Airport - Gale�o - was renamed to Ant�nio Carlos Jobim International Airport in his honor, as requested by some notable Brazilian fans. A fair reward to someone who lived with head in the clouds, feet on the floor.
With 'Samba do Avi�o' (Song of the Jet) you can check it by yourself. I mean� fasten the belt, and enjoy the ride!
