Speaking of aviation, I have no idea why Americans use such a boring term as "airport". I mean, the guys invented half of the aviation technology and then they just use the term "airport". Such a waste of potential.

The international standard term is "aerodrome". Say it like you mean it. It's a term with gravitas.
