- Sadly, the iconic flying saucer terminal which Pan Am built in the late 1950s.has been demolished by Delta and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. It was taken over by Delta in 1991 after Pan Am went out of business. Delta moved its operation to T4 at JFK on May 24. Despite being named as one of "America's Eleven Most Endangered Historic Places" by the National Trust, the plans to demolish and turn it into a parking lot for aircraft went forward. RIP old friend
Delta eats up other airlines just as historic terminals. JFK will never be the same without this historic Pan Am building.
Thanks for preserving the Worldport
You're being sarcastic right?
Not at all.
PIlotrcm I believe he means preserving it in video to be on the internet ‘forever’
This did NOT age well.💀
It's such a shame :( The only time I flew aboard a Pan Am flight was with my brother and our parents. We were coming back home to San Francisco from Honolulu.
This building will be greatly missed it is an icon
Last time i ride PanAm is at 1991 just a few months before it goes bankruptcy. Now i see the fate, many of them was gone. Very dissapointed. But atleast we still have PanAm Experience in LAX. We will miss you PanAm. I will do anything to make you back...
the Port Authority can make money from saving it... What could be some uses for the building? Vendor support, employee daycare, tourism bureau, lounge for travelers to rest before next flight, resturaunts, day spas, a gym + sauna, an aviation museum, a pet kennel/hotel, play area for kids (with mini golf, arcade, lazer tag, ball crawl), mini movie theatre or any combination of the above. All could make some revenue for the airport.
Thanks for the video. I was so angry that they demolished this building.
It look to me like it was taken in 2003 lol Good video though, thanks for upload.
Here's what I don't understand: Why did they even tear down the Worldport in the first place? Delta and the Port Authority said that the building could not be saved, but I think they just didn't even try. With enough work they could have restored and renovated this iconic structure to where it would be convenient for the passengers and have an iconic saucer at the same time. And it is not just the now-gone Terminal 3. Terminals 2 and 7 are slated to be demolished next year, 2023. Those structures have an iconic history as well. Why can't they just modernize them or incorporate them into new terminals? This is happening all across the world right now, as old iconic structures are being torn down for new ones, history fading away. It is so sad to see this happen.
I flew in and out of the Worldport 90-91. Lots of good memories. Delta are a-holes for tearing the building down. And for withdrawing financial support that resulted in us shutting down Dec 1991. I will never fly Delta because of what they did to us.
True, take concourse c in cincinnati for example
Lovely presentation and some great memories for me I hope it stays.
A terminal built for wide body aircraft...seperate boarding for different classes
.....American cities don't do that anymore, just more cattle stalls.......
the last flight left last night to TLV. So sad :(
opened in 1963
It's a parking lot now...
I know, it's very sad.
Sadly the roof is gone :(
sigh, these Modern Airlines of the US have no respect for the past, WE NEED A PAN AM MUSEUM
T4 isn't much better than this was
lol this looks like lax terminal 3
Shakey at times, but so are great memories.....
Sad..
What song is this?
This terminal is beautiful, why did they take it down :(
It’s in terminal 4 now
Delta moved to Terminal 4, which is much newer.
Poor maintenance and neglect.
