JFK777 said:Terminal 5 was the TWA domestic terminal for 20 years from the time Pan Am took over National Airlines in 1981 until it closed its doors. This building has all kinds of old unused Jet Bridges since it was used by DC-10's and 747's by its prior occupants. The Jet Bridge talked about here probably hasn't been used used Reagon was it the White House.

TWA did have the occasional 747 parl ther in the winter for flights to California but its was the L-1011 that used it often. Terminal 4, TWA's international terminal, saw all the 747 action. I hope this helps.

The sign is considered a historical landmark with the terminal building. Thus it stays, per our Real Estate VP.
Yes it is a historical site.autofixer said:Is not the TWA terminal on the Fed's list of national historic places; thus, you cannot just tear off a sign without "an act of congress"?

The people of the state of New York, more precisely New York City, deserve the credit, because without them, the political cronyism of our NY Governor Pataki, without NY's tax incentives JB, JB would be toast.JetBlue deserves a lot of credit for stepping up with a plan to keep the building intact and incorporate it into its new terminal.
BTW, the TWA sign stays, if only to remind JB and the new lower paid airlines workers that there was once an airline, that actually flew around the globe, with truly First Class service, carrying Royalty, Popes and Hollywood's best, while providing livable wages to it's employees.
Please pass the blue peanuts.
