Landing Gear

Beautiful building (studied it in college art class) but awful airline terminal.

I recall the New York Times architectural critic (Paul Godlberger?) who criticized the "tubes" as being like something out of "A Clockwork Orange" and actually bad for your psychological well-being.

For me, the worst aspect of the terminal was that on returning from an international flight and after clearing Customs, the only way to go upstairs to the ground level was to give up your bags to a separate "luggage mover" and take the escalator. I never liked having to rush to be sure my luggage wasn't stolen.

Not everything old is necessarily good.

By the way, it was the Ambassadors Club, not "lounge." I was a member.
