Logan International Airport - Wikipedia

Having travelled through this airport recently, this would be a fantastic pick for a playable airport, lots to do, lots of traffic, from massive aircraft to tiny ones, freight and passenger ops, all big 3 legacy airlines have a presence as did the other 3 pre 2010 such as Continental, Northwest and US Airways. Could be a really cool spot and likely could spend hours on this due to its complexity. Only issue is its close proximity to IAD.
