“The sign in the Obama photo that says San Fransico is one of these signs. “
Yes. BIGLOOK inadvertently confirmed this with the other picture. This is a picture taken in Honolulu airport.
So we have the place.
The one factor that truly dates the picture is front and center: It’s Barack at age 10 to 12.

From the Hawaii.gov website:
The new John Rodgers Terminal was dedicated August 22, 1962, during the annual conference of the Airport Operators Council, held in Honolulu August 19-25, 1962. Several members of the Legislature, as well as aviation officials, participated in the dedication program. Keynote speakers were Najeeb Halaby, Federal Aviation Administration, and W. A. Patterson, United Air Lines president.There would have been no Christmas decorations and no Christmas pictures in the old terminal after 1961.On the day of the dedication, Pan American World Airways delayed its Flight No. 843 from San Francisco for 50 minutes to preface the formal program with the first commercial jet arrival at the new Terminal.
All operations ceased at the old Terminal at midnight, October 14, 1962, and the first passengers from the new Terminal departed for Japan shortly after midnight the following day.
From the same website:
John Rodgers Airport was renamed Honolulu Airport on May 2, 1947. The airport was renamed Honolulu International Airport on April 27, 1951. A new jet age passenger terminal (John Rodgers Terminal) was constructed on the north ramp and dedicated on August 22, 1962. The south ramp where the airport was originally located became home to cargo, general aviation and aircraft maintenance activities. A new Commuter Terminal was dedicated on June 2, 1988. A new Interisland Terminal was dedicated on July 20, 1993.If both pictures are taken in the same terminal, the boy in the picture cannot be Barak as he would not have been 10 in 1962.
