Lockheed and Martin Marietta = St. Louis. They eventually merged.
Also TWA used St. Louis as a mid-continent hub.

Lambert in STL has a cool terminal designed by Minoru Yamasaki.
Damaged in the tornado a couple of years ago.
It echoed the design of the JFK terminal designed by Eero Saarinen.
Paper airplanes are def a St. Louis thing. It's in the air.
Boeing = Seattle, though HQ is in Chicago.
