I never realised that was by IM Pei, so I have learned soemthing new.

I always felt it was the best terminal in JFK (the coolest in the literal
sense) with the interesting device of separating arrival and departure roads
laterally rather than vertically).  It was also relatively small which
helped.

Anyone else remember the old huts used by Air Canada and when they
disappeared?
