A vintage color postcard shows the terminal building of Will Rogers Airport in Claremore, Oklahoma. The structure is a low, rectangular building constructed of tan stone with red trim accents and a central section rising slightly higher than the wings. Large white hangar-style doors line the front, and the words “Will Rogers Air Port” are prominently displayed across the upper facade. Rows of rectangular windows run along the sides, and a small entrance door is visible on the right. The building sits on a neatly maintained green lawn under a bright blue sky with scattered clouds.

Color postcard of the Midland–Odessa Regional Air Terminal showing a long, low mid-century modern terminal building with a distinctive wavy roofline and repeating white canopy supports along the curb. Large windows run along the upper level, and a radar dome is visible on the roof. A two-tone vintage station wagon is parked at the curb in front, while the street and sidewalk lead toward the entrance under a bright blue sky with scattered clouds.

Color postcard showing a twin-engine propeller airliner from Central Airlines parked on the ramp at Hot Springs Municipal Airport. The aircraft, likely a Douglas DC-3, is angled slightly toward the viewer with its nose raised and propellers visible. Behind it stands a mid-century terminal building with a glassed-in control tower. A sign near the building reads “Welcome to Hot Springs,” and a small red service vehicle is parked off to the left. Low hills and a partly cloudy sky form the background.
