	Idlewild South - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Idlewild South is the sophomore album of The Allman Brothers Band, released in 1970.
		Unlike the band's debut album, Idlewild South enjoyed some popular success as well as critical enthusiasm, mostly due to what Rolling Stone magazine called "briefer, tighter, less 'heavy' numbers" which were more radio-friendly.
		The two most prominent of these were "Midnight Rider" and "Revival", the latter of which, in conjunction with the instrumental "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" (which would become one of the Allmans' most famed concert numbers), foreshadowed the impact of Dickey Betts' songwriting ability upon the band.

		Idlewild's records and its physical inventory, as well as the transfer of the liquor from the bonded trucks to Idlewild's premises and from those premises to the departing aircraft, are at all times open to inspection by the Bureau of Customs.
		Idlewild's liquors, once in the State, are sold at retail to airline passengers at Kennedy Airport.
		Whether Idlewild stays in business is no legitimate concern of the Customs officials; their concern is that, if Idlewild does do a liquor business, tax-free liquor not be diverted within the country and customs duties not thereby be evaded.

		The position of the city as an innovator in regional airport planning and as the dominant force in intercontinental air travel was strengthened by the opening in 1948 of Idlewild International Airport.
		Plans for another large airport in the region floundered in the 1960s, but Queens retained a central role in several new developments in aviation, including the establishment of the first modern air shuttle (by Eastern Airlines in 1961 to Boston and Washington) and the introduction of the Boeing 747 (by Pan American).
		The airport was Fiorello LaGuardia’s dream – a municipal airfield in the center of New York City – one of the nation’s most bustling centers of commerce.

	Floyd Bennett Field Historic District--Aviation: From Sand Dunes to Sonic Booms: A National Register of Historic Places ...
		Constructed between 1928 and 1931 by the City Department of Docks, the airport was designed to divert the increasing volume of air traffic to New York City away from Newark Airport where the vast majority of New York bound flights terminated.
		By 1933, Floyd Bennett Field was the second busiest airport in the country, with 51,828 landings and takeoffs, but only a minor percentage of this actively consisted of the mail, freight and commercial passengers which generated revenue.
		Following the opening of Idlewild Airport in 1939, Floyd Bennett Field was closed to commercial use and conveyed to the U.S. Navy in 1941.

		The airport's prominence in domestic travel has increased since JetBlue Airways made JFK its headquarters in 2000; the airport is also a focus city for American Airlines and Delta Air Lines, and a base for United Airlines.
		The airport is arguably as much a famous symbol of New York City as Madison Square Garden, Yankee Stadium, the Statue of Liberty, and the Empire State Building.
		Construction of the airport began in 1942, and at that time, they thought they would need only 1,000 acres (4 kmandsup2) to build it: however, as aviation grew, so did Idlewild, and since then, 4,000 acres (16 kmandsup2) have been added.

		The airport's current capacity benchmark is 88 to 89 flights per hour in good weather and 71 flights per hour in adverse weather conditions, including poor visibility, unfavorable winds, and heavy precipitation.
		Variability in airport capacity, when combined with the pattern of aircraft demand and scheduling, can result in airport congestion, typically leading to the formation of queues waiting for permission to land or takeoff.
		Prior to the construction of the municipal airport, pioneer aviators used part of the site as a makeshift landing strip where the aircraft of that time landed and departed on rough ground.

		The upstart domestic airline—the busiest at JFK, accounting for 7 million of the airport’s 30 million passengers yearly— was initially interested in the possibility of actively using the Saarinen structure but found that the cost to retrofit the relic exceeded that of building an entirely new terminal.
		Pasquale DiFulco, a spokesman for the Port Authority, which operates the airport, said the curator of the show, Rachel K. Ward, had "failed to control the unlawful behavior of her guests" at the event.
		The show, an exhibition of contemporary installations, by nearly 20 artists, on the theme of airports and modern travel, was to have run through Jan. 31.

	Airport architecture lacks sense of adventure
		When Modernism hit town, though, it became fashionable for airports to be inspired by the objects they served: aircraft.
		In the ensuing decades, it's become acceptable for airports to be disjointed aesthetic jumbles so long as they vaguely resemble airplanes, with lots of shiny metal, curvy plastic panels, and carpeting on the walls.
		Likewise, perhaps, the airport's day as a romantic portal to other worlds has been doomed by the very ordinary thing that air travel has become.

	TWA Terminal New York by Eero Saarinen
		Saarinen's terminal for TWA is sculpted as a symbol of flight - abstract, and not intentionally as a landing eagle as it has often been described.
		The period bright orange carpets are gone, and the atmosphere is a more contemporary cool with the tone set by the purple-tinted glazing, but the romance of flight is very much alive.
		Although the building appears to be made of sculptural concrete, the structure is in fact braced within the concrete by an invisible web of reinforcing steel - comparable to the invisible steel hammock supporting the concrete roof of Saarinen's other 1962 airport terminal building, at Washington Dulles.

	Airport Codes: The ABC's A History and Explanation
		The newer Dulles airport just outside D.C. was DIA (from Dulles International Airport); however, the DIA and DCA were easy to confuse, especially when hastily written in chalk on a baggage cart, scribbled on a tag or a handwritten air traffic control strip, so we are stuck with the backwards IAD.
		Louisville, Kentucky, already had an airport with the logical code of LOU; therefore, the letters for the new airport had to be something radically different: SDF stands for Standiford Field.
		The airport ciphers sometimes don't originate with the city or airfield name but with the county in which it resides.

	JFK Expressway
		From the time that JFK (then Idlewild) Airport opened in 1948, traffic was backed up for miles on the Van Wyck Expressway, whose opening coincided with the airport.
		Robert Moses, who built JFK Airport in addition to the arterial routes, saw the southern extension of the Clearview Expressway as a way to alleviate congestion on the Van Wyck Expressway.
		Because it lies almost entirely within Kennedy Airport, the JFK Expressway was constructed, and is maintained by the Port Authority.

		The plan of any airport, though, is defined by the forms of surface transport that come together there (runways, notice, are a form of surface transport), the need for an observation tower, and the social activities that occur within.
		I suppose there are some airports where there is more flexibility--the new Denver Airport seems to have been placed where there was largely undeveloped land--but in any major developed area, there are going to be site constraints having to do with availability of land, its geological character, and the existing roads.
		One of my early memories is of going to that airport when it was fairly new, in the mid-50's (if I had to guess I'd say '56), with my grandma, to pick up my stepgrandfather -- my real grandfather had died and she remarried -- who'd been away on a business trip.
