There was a time, up until perhaps the early 70's, when you were allowed to go to an observation deck atop any terminal at JFK Airport in NYC. That was a popular Sunday afternoon activity for me and some friends, especially one whose father was a mechanic for American Airlines.
Watching the planes take off and land, and smelling that jet fuel.......
Those days are LONG gone.
