Color postcard depicting the passenger terminal at Tri-Cities Airport in Pasco. The image shows the mid-century modern terminal building characterized by broad overhanging rooflines, dramatic upward-sweeping canopy forms, and a glass curtain wall façade facing the parking apron. The architectural style reflects late-1960s/early-1970s airport design, with repeating folded roof elements and deep eaves providing shade along the terminal frontage. The foreground features a large surface parking lot filled with period automobiles, including late-1950s through early-1970s sedans and station wagons, reinforcing the postcard’s era. Landscaping islands, low shrubs, and light standards line the approach roadway. The bright blue sky and cumulus clouds form a vivid backdrop typical of Pacific Northwest promotional imagery. The printed caption along the lower border reads: “TRI-CITIES AIRPORT, PASCO, WASHINGTON.”

Color postcard view of the terminal at Tucson International Airport in Tucson, dramatically illuminated at sunset. The modern mid-century terminal building glows with interior lighting, its broad horizontal lines and glass façade reflecting the architectural style popular during the jet age expansion of the 1960s and 1970s. In the foreground, the parking lot is filled with period automobiles—sedans, station wagons, and vans—suggesting the card dates to the 1970s or early 1980s. Covered drop-off lanes and a central entrance canopy frame the main doors, while an American flag flies prominently above the structure. The vivid desert sunset sky, streaked with orange and red clouds, provides a striking Southwestern backdrop consistent with Arizona’s arid landscape. The postcard captures the era when regional airports were expanding rapidly to accommodate increased commercial air travel, reflecting both the growth of Sun Belt cities and the modernization of airport terminals across the United States.
