Pan Am Worldport (Terminal 3) Closes

[dm123 19]

At 11:24 PM yesterday, Delta 268 pushed back from the gate at the old Pan American Worldport, thus ending commercial operations out of the historic terminal. The terminal opened 53 years ago today. It had a part in numerous historic events in aviation, such as being the departure terminal for the first commercial 747 flight. Despite the best efforts of numerous individuals, it is slated for demolition in the next two years.

That was the old Delta terminal right?   I hear Delta is moving to Term 4 now.

Yup. Delta got it after Pan Am went bankrupt.
