San Francisco Airport on 21 January 1962, one of the rare occasions the city has snow. via the SF Gate snow photo special:
The aerial photo over San Francisco Airport is amazing to me, but not just because of the snow. I had never seen the airport before the spiral Escher painting of a parking garage was installed.

The PanAm Worldport, a terminal at JFK (built when it was still Idlewild, at the dawn of the jet age). Sadly, it’s being demolished:
The plan would entail the demolition of the smaller terminal, the PanAm Worldport, an architectural symbol of the 1960s jet age that has nevertheless been described as a blight on the airport by passengers and airline executives alike.
Delta has long lamented the state of the Worldport, which it uses for many of its international flights, describing the space as unpleasant and unfit for its role as a gateway to the United States for international travelers.

Snow blankets Gatwick (although the adjective “thick” seems inadvised, but still). Surprisingly pretty, but no doubt incredibly annoying if you’re actually expecting to get anywhere.

The Manhattan Airport Foundation suggest putting an airport on Central Park. It’s an amazingly pretty and professional site, for what must surely be a prank.
(It’s probably a bit worrying that my first technical objection is that airport runways are better aligned east-west than north-south, isn’t it?)
