BASSETERRE, St. Kitts -- It's a bird! It's a plane! It's...Kirani James?

The prime minister of Antigua says he wants Caribbean airline LIAT to name one of its planes after an Olympic runner who gave the island of Grenada its first gold medal.

Baldwin Spencer says naming an aircraft after James would be a fitting tribute. The 19-year-old won the 400 meters final Monday in London. James also was applauded for his sportsmanship after he traded name tags with South Africa's Oscar Pistorius, a double amputee.
