The airport we keep our plane at is called "Flying Cloud," which I think is one of the most poetic names for an airport I've ever heard (never mind the busy, hot Saturdays in August, when the airport is known as "Frying Crowd"). Duluth has a small airport and seaplane base called "Sky Harbor." Another small airport in the Twin Cities suburb of Lakeville is called "Airlake."
Sadly, the vast majority of airport have dull, boring names: either simply named after the city ("Denver International Airport"), or after dead people ("John F. Kennedy" being famous; "Wold-Chamberlain Field" being the obscure formal name for the Minneapolis international airport). Despite the general lack of imagination most cities show when naming their airports, there must be other examples of poetic or evocative names. But I'll be darned if I can think of any.
