5. John F. Kennedy International Airport

Inside the TWA Flight Center opened during Kennedy’s presidency in 1962

Kennedy Airport was constructed in 1943 (as Idlewild Airport) in order to relieve overcrowding at LaGuardia Airport. The Airport was home to the Pan-Am Worldport Terminal and is still home to the Saarinen designed TWA Flight Center. On December 24, 1963, Idewild was rededicated John F. Kennedy International Airport, one of the first memorials to JFK in NYC.
