I grew up in Queens, NY, not far from JFK. Flying was so glamorous back then that going to the TWA terminal was often an inexpensive, but exciting place to take a date for a thrifty teeage boy!

Here in STL, where the main terminal was also designed by Saarinen, before 9/11 there was a parking / viewing area at the west end of the runway. When I could I would pack a lunch then watch planes come and go. The north side of the airport was MacDonnell Douglas so occasionally you would see fighters take off then go vertical as they got away. 9/11 and $1Billion of wasted money expanding the runway made this really nice way to spend a lunch hour go away.
