TWA at JFK 1992

Video clips taken from inside the TWA Terminal at JFK during two cloudy afternoons in July of 1992. The international arrivals are in full swing!

I apologize for the rain drops, mother nature was not cooperating on those days.....

Skyliner747 Everytime Every time I've come back to your video it takes me right back to the TWA that was the envy of the industry not only for what it had achieved but for its history. No need to apologize for the "rain drops" I see them as tears from heaven of what once was, together with Pan Am without a doubt we are the two greatest Airlines in United States History before the industry became Greyhound!

I wish I was going back to MCI/Breech Academy tomorrow for recurrent training in a minute!

no appologizing for the rain. it ads to the emotional affect of the video

@anthony2154 Me, too. Triholers are beautiful. I spotted a CO (!) DC-10 (!) while watching The Shining, and geeked out. I think I've only flown on one tri-jet my whole life, a Hawaiian DC-10. I remember thinking the third engine looked goofy.

I want the Worldport to be saved, but it's just not as historically/architecturally significant as T5. And the way it's positioned at JFK makes it harder for it to be built around. =/ It's a pity it'll become a cement slab. For parking planes.

@upiluften u know i really miss the days of seeing the triholers and classic 747's ruled the sky. While i think delta should save the worldport, i just think the worldport should be saved and not that 70's addon.

@anthony2154 I heard about that! OHNY or something.. the pictures are beautiful, all the old signage and fixtures (that timetable!!) are still up. It's like a time machine, literally.

[anthony2154]

@upiluften To be honest, ive heard they have opened it to the public a couple of times, once in october. I really dont know when it will be reopened. i hope it will be though

[upiluften]

@anthony2154 Awesome! Hopefully I'll be able to geek out about it this summer! Is the flight center open to the public yet?

[anthony2154]

@upiluften YEA! i've flown into T5 a countless bunch of times. when you come out of baggage claim for curbside pickup, you're standing right infront of it! its beautiful

[upiluften]

@anthony2154 TWA sign? They left it up?!

Have you visited T5?

[anthony2154]

@upiluften Hope you get a flight in during the night, cause at night, its spectacular with the TWA sign lighted up!!!
