We're Not in Kansas

Mid-Continent International Airport (MCI), Kansas City, Missouri, USA
Despite the name, Kansas City (aka Mid-Continent) International Airport (MCI) is in Missouri, not Kansas. The photo's unusual hue was the result of the windows on this particular Beech 1900D aircraft.

The airport has some very unusual architectural features which made sense to the TWA designers, but are less attractive to and functional for modern travelers.  Nonetheless, it's an historic gem featuring a (mostly) single-level layout of three ringed terminals.
