Just a thought..............

Too bad the desigers/arcitects of the new terminal dis not seek to pay at least SOME tribute to the handsome, streamlined facade of the originall 1950 terminal........... Sad

OMG...NINE years to complete? Sure glad I'm not working thru that quagmire!

They managed to rebuild the main terminal at LaGuardia Airport in less time than that, while still handling all regular flights, didn't they?

Yeeesh! Shocked
