Appropriately enough, the road to an Air Force Base is named for an aviator, albeit of the [airship variety.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dale_mabry)

Reed (singer)  
Piniella (baseball player and manager)  
Costello (comedy team partner of Bud Abbott)

I would have played **faithfool** ’s “Kimberly” challenge, but I couldn’t think of three appropriate answers off the top of my head. If you can, solve that one; if not, try _Linus_.
