Aerial photograph of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac) showing the original terminal building with control tower, surrounding parking lots, access roads, and aircraft gates. The image captures the airport's mid-century layout prior to major expansions, consistent with the period shortly after its 1949 opening through the early jet age, with propeller and early jet aircraft visible at the gates.

Aerial photograph of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport showing the terminal complex, parking areas, taxiways, and aircraft on the apron. A building in the lower portion of the image is clearly labeled 'United Air Lines,' indicating this photo dates from the jet era of airport operations, likely the 1960s based on the aircraft types and terminal configuration visible.

Black-and-white aerial photograph showing a commercial airport terminal complex with multiple propeller and early jet aircraft at gates, large surface parking lots, and suburban landscape visible in the background. The layout, runway configuration, and architectural style are consistent with a mid-century Pacific Northwest regional airport, likely dating to the late 1950s or early 1960s.

Aerial photograph showing a large airport terminal complex with multiple aircraft bearing red tail livery consistent with Northwest Airlines, extensive surface parking lots, and runway infrastructure visible in the background. The dry summer conditions, vehicle styles, and airport layout are consistent with a Pacific Northwest hub airport from the 1960s–1970s era, possibly Sea-Tac or Portland International.

Aerial photograph showing Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac) during a major construction/expansion phase, with the existing terminal complex and aircraft gates visible in the background and large-scale earthwork and new terminal foundation construction underway in the foreground. Multiple commercial jet aircraft are visible at gates, and the surrounding roadway infrastructure and parking areas are partially complete, consistent with Sea-Tac's expansion construction in the late 1960s to early 1970s.

Aerial photograph showing a large airport terminal with a curved concourse design, a multi-story parking garage with a circular ramp system, and numerous aircraft at gates. The image appears to date from the 1970s based on aircraft types, vehicle styles, and construction era of the facilities visible, consistent with Sea-Tac Airport's terminal expansion period.

Black-and-white aerial photograph showing a mid-20th century airport with multiple runways and taxiways in the background, and a residential neighborhood with a large oval water reservoir or sports track and modernist institutional buildings in the foreground. No visible text, captions, or watermarks are present in the image.

Aerial photograph looking north toward Sea-Tac Airport showing terminal buildings, aircraft at gates, and a Western Airlines facility (visible signage on left). The foreground shows the International Boulevard/Pacific Highway South commercial corridor with motels, parking lots, and retail businesses adjacent to the airport.

Aerial photograph looking northward over Sea-Tac Airport showing the main terminal complex, satellite concourses, apron areas, runways, and Puget Sound visible in the background. A large surface parking lot, access roads, and adjacent commercial/hotel buildings are visible in the foreground; vehicle styles and airport layout suggest the photograph dates from the early-to-mid 1970s.
