Who was your city's airport(s) named for?

Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport... how original.

We have two terminals... the Lindbergh Terminal, named after Charles Lindbergh (we all know who that is, right?) He was born in Little Falls, Minnesota.

And the Hubert H. Humphrey Terminal.. one of the most (perhaps the most) influential politician from Minnesota, at least since WW2.

An addendum to this, from the Metropolitan Airports Commission:

In 1914, Snelling Speedway sat where MSP currently operates. The auto-racing venue was unsuccessful, and the Minneapolis Aero Club acquired the property for loftier purposes. The first hangar, a wooden structure, was constructed in 1920 to accommodate airmail service, and the 160-acre property became known as Speedway Field. In 1923, the airport was renamed Wold-Chamberlain Field in honor of two local pilots, Ernest Wold and Cyrus Chamberlain, who lost their lives in combat during World War I.

Richmond's airport is now Richmond International, but it was named Byrd Field named after aviator, explorer Richard Evelyn Byrd. Some people still call it Byrd Airport... even I do at times.

The airport in Baltimore was recently renamed the Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport.
