Miami International Airport Aerial - 1976.
This rare aerial of Miami International Airport captures 
the NW20th St Terminal in 1976. At its opening in 1959 and for years 
after, MIA was the world's largest single terminal. By the mid 1970s, there 
had been the first major changes to the terminal, including the Flamingo 
and Dolphin parking garages, and the new Midfield Terminal E 
for international airlines and Pan Am which is seen under construction 
here before the connector train was added. Eastern dominated 
the North concourse, Pan Am was in the middle, while 
Miami based National planes can be seen in the 4th finger.
