Not particularly.   I'm not aware of any airport buildings that have been
re-modelled for PBR, nor has any work been done on the HDR/PBR shaders for
tarmac etc.

All the HDR/PBR work is generic right now, and uses WS2.0 scenery objects
which have not been updated.  We do have updated airport layouts, but
broadly any airport (KIBF excepted!) will look quite similar in WS3.0 as
they do in WS2.0.
