Found this thread on another site with some very interesting photo's of Idlewild in 1962 and I thought some of you might enjoy seeing. And here is a little quiz, how many TWA 707's can you count in the 10th photo ?

Thanks for passing that along, Ron. Brings back lots of memories. I love the shot of the three chapels - always thought it was neat that they had those there!

I see 10 TWA 707s in that shot.

Why NYS would destroy this beautiful airport with the current roadways is beyond me. I kind of understand getting rid of the fountains and pools, from what I hear they were attracting birds and getting in the way of flights...but the three chapels and the grass, just gorgeous. To this day I still hate Cuomo and the NJ governor of that day for green lighting the redevelopment project.
