You need to learn when to go wide and when to zoom in. This was hard to watch because there was stuff going on that you were too tight in to catch. I kept trying to look around but you were focused on the ground too much and not where you were going.

Amazing the Eero Saarinen former terminal is lost amid the complexity of the current JFK. We landed in '66 there, with a brand new Caprice waiting for us at the front...A perk provided by the company Dad worked for in the (then) Pan Am building above Grand Central. There were helicopter shuttles from the roof of the (Met Life) building, until a skid broke, decapitating a passenger. This was resumed in the 90s (I think), briefly before another accident of some sort. Decades later, my mom still remarked about the spectacular thrill of flying by Manhattan on the way to JFK.

I used to use the old SFO chopper flights from SFO airport, over to Oakland airport, flying low over the bay was cool, cheaper than a shuttle ride back to the East Bay. Then my last base, Dover AFB, I met a gal who was a ticket agent for SFO shuttle, lost her job when they shut down, she was one of our air traffic controllers on base, she loved it, got to tell officers where to go. We grew up a few years apart, just blocks away, but she went to our rival school.

My first flight ever was when I was 5 going to Jamaica by PanAm. 1966. We flew from Newark Nj to JFK by helicopter! It was standard then I think free with ticket . Also direct flights by same company from top of Pan Am building midtown . Service ended after a crash on roof of Pan Am now Met Life building. A few years ago I saw a firefighting helo that looked familiar . I looked it up and was the same model as the NY helos still flying! Boeing 107. Turns out all the surviving units are near where I now work in Oregon !
