Visiting the Former Trans World Airlines (TWA) Terminal at John F. Kennedy International Airport

Concept, photos, videos, examples, construction



On Saturday, October 11, Open House New York (OHNY) opened up the former TWA terminal at JFK from 11:00 AM to 3:30 PM. After running a cross-country race, I headed home, showered, and my dad and I quickly left for New York City (Queens). While searching for parking both my dad and I realized finding parking could take time so my dad let me off before him. From there, I crossed one foot in front of the other until I entered the terminal. What a sight! What an occasion! Designed by architect Eero Saarinen! I could not believe that after three years of waiting and missing, I was finally inside of the unused terminal. Enjoy the slideshow! By the way, at one point in the video, you will notice that I suddenly seem to look younger. Those photos are from late June of 2012. Also, take note of the Pan Am Worldport (Rest in Peace) reference.
