Name that Airport

[HB-IHC]

The next one:

There is a city with two airports. Both airports are named after individuals who died in an aircrash. Please give me the name of the larger of the two airports (both for bonus points ).

Wiley Post Airport and Will Rogers Airport

Oh well Peter... let's hope this doesn't drag on just because I think it will get solved quickly!

Not Spain I'm afraid.

Info:

There are strong links between the images on the windows and this airport but beware... they aren't so much primary links but secondary... they are linked to something which has very strong primary connections with this airport.

The airport was constructed near the end of WW2 and currently has 3 runways.

Seattle Tacoma.

...and would the link be something to do with this from Wikipedia...

Christmas tree controversy
On December 9, 2006, a controversy arose over the airport's display of Christmas trees, which the Port of Seattle officially called "holiday trees" in all public statements. Rabbi Elazar Bogomilsky of Northwest Friends of Chabad-Lubavitch requested that he be permitted to install a chanukkiyah in addition to the trees. Talks were unproductive. The rabbi's attorney, Harvey Grad, sent a legal document to the port. Fearing a lawsuit, the airport took 14 Christmas trees down. This attracted international media attention. After Rabbi Bogomilsky and other Jewish leaders stated that they had no intention of suing the Port of Seattle, the port reinstalled the trees on the night of December 11, 2006.[17]

Oh yes. Congratulations!


The links are: did you notice that the artwork depicts star constellations amongst other things...

Ursa (major / minor) - Great / Little Bear
Leo - Lion
Cygnus - Swan
Auriga - Chariot Driver
Monoceros - Unicorn

... and some native indians?

These are actually Alaskan Eskimo indians and, while I'm sure there are other cultural links in the window, it's no coincidence that the Alaskan flag depicts the Plough constellation.

Of course, Sea-Tac is the base of Alaskan Airlines so Alaskan Airlines is the primary connection and Alaska and it's people (the iconography depicts their culture) is secondary.

No......and it's not in the Caribbean either.

Let's try and tie down what language is spoken here to identify the country.

A cryptic clue....

"Tie a label on a piece of wood" ! Three syllables.

Sorry mate, but I find cryptic descriptions in Dutch hard enough, but something cryptic in a non-native language while looking for something you do not know is very hard.

So we are in the Phillipines, then? Where one of the languages spoken is called TagaLog? Perchance on the island of Luzon, even?
