Boeing 707-100 —
The opening earlier this year of the TWA Hotel at KJFK in New York reminded me that I had this photo so I went looking for it yesterday and finally found it at the bottom of a pile of old print pictures.
I'll apologize for the less-than-primo quality of this Kodacolor 620 film print, but it was taken in 1967 so it is a 52 year old photograph. The camera used was a Kodak Bullseye.
It shows a TWA B707 at a gate of the Trans World Airlines Flight Center terminal at JFK. The terminal had opened five years earlier (1962) and its fabulous futuristic design resembling a bird in flight made it a "must see" stop for anyone who passed thru JFK. Pictures of TWA's aircraft at the gates could be taken while standing in the central section of the main terminal area, and this photo was taken from there. The very top of the tail of a TWA B727 parked at another gate is just barely visible in the background.
Comments
I was on leave in the service and around 23 I believe. Got any more?
