Airports (at least in the USA) were synonymous with mid-century modernism. Obviously there are the true landmarkets (TWA Terminal at JFK... the Saarinen Dulles terminal...)
I can't tell you how much marlene heck said she loves the Saarinen Dulles terminal. It is indeed something special (Eero Saarinen, 1962)
Below, this is the immortal TWA terminal at JFK (Saarinen, 1961)
Laguardia also has its Central Terminal Building (CTB) dedicated in 1964.
The American Airlines hangar and the 1957 control tower, which resembles a nuke cooling tower. Stylish!
This terminal still stands (for now) as the Delta terminal at JFK. It was originally Pan Am's terminal.
San Francisco (SFO)
LAX
New York Laguardia
These light fixtures at Houston (IAH) are certifiably funky.
Fuel up at Giddings, Texas. (GYB)
Some photos at Amsterdam: oval windows in effect.
Tons more out there.

Up in Alaska, Anchorage is primarily a cargo airport:
Rapid City SD
San Luis Obispo, California. Some charming adobe stuff going on here, but more restrained than what you see at Santa Barbara (below)
Honolulu ........... garden-filled airport (need better picture):
West Maui regional airport: flights to Kahului to avoid the volcano-rim drive.
Minneapolis St Paul (MSP) has some interesting hexagonal area lights:
Sculpture garden at Reagan:
I have no idea what is going on with this somewhat cloying, but still pretty cool, public artwork. Who got the contract, why, etc.
The interior there is kind of gothic? But still with this simple metal surfacing. This part (Terminals B and C) was designed by Cesar Pelli, completed 1997. It does kind of remind of 1990s government buildings, but in the best possible way.
And check out the classic Terminal A of DCA (National Airport)!! This section opened in 1955.
The 2nd image here I take from this superior blogger.
Waiting areas: It happens... you need to wait...
This other part of National, Terminal A (1941) was also pretty hot:
Phoenix Sky Harbor (PHX)
A paris?
Pittsburgh
San Francisco (SFO)
Munich, Germany (MUC)
Charles du Gaulle
LAX

Quepos, Costa Rice (QXP)
