Following the tragic terrorist attacks in Paris that left at least 129 people dead and many others wounded, government buildings, landmarks, and other public places alike have been lit up with red, white, and blue lights, the French flag’s colors, out of reverence for the City of Paris.
Similar to these places, airports have honored Paris by lighting their facilities with the colors of the French flag as well.
Milwaukee’s Mitchell Airport (MKE)
MKE appeared to be one of the first airports to honor Paris. The airport lit the entrance letters with blue, white, and red colors.
