Doctor Day Tripper is at it again!
Today Dr. Segan visited the TWA Terminal at J.F.K. airport. Great place to spend the afternoon. I think it can be described as futuristic and retro all at the same time. The TWA Terminal, designed by Eero Saarinen, opened in 1962. Its iconic wing-shaped structure revolutionized airport design. The terminal was a hub for transatlantic flights but closed in 2001. In 2019, it reopened as the TWA Hotel, blending mid-century modern style with modern amenities. You can read more about this iconic terminal here. I remember when J.F.K. was Idlewild. Do you?
LET’S TRAVEL BACK TO THE SIXTIES!
