Tom,If you are just starting out:
Airports: ADE
Terrain, roads, polygons: ADE
Buildings: download libraries from the net, add them to the LOM in ADE, and add them as 3D Objects to your ADE file.
Later you could learn Sketchup (or GMAX) and create custom buildings.
If you have Instant Object Studio you can start with that, if you like.
I'm not sure what you mean by a common data format. Any format capable of being converted to an FS MDL file can be used to create scenery objects. And ModelConverterX has many choices to do just that.
Tom.thanks for u help.ok,i may try to learn the ADE at first.it looks like a most important application for a noob or airport design~ : )If you are just starting out:

There are British ones; search for RAF in the file libraries. I don't know of any libraries specific to US WWII hangars, etc.
and crawling up the steep learning curve
