Great images of early taxiway bridges and runway tunnels
Aircraft overpasses are commonplace nowadays but in the mid-20th century there were only a handful of them. This blogpost provides a nice overview of the first ones built (www.airporthistory.org) 기타...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Forgotten is the KATL RWY 10/28 overpass which traverses I-285......https://www.google.com/maps/@33.6216513,-84.4390497,2996m/data=!3m1!1e3
The runway and taxiway at ATL did not exist until recently (if you count 14 years recent), and a 6th runway is being looked at.
Funny, I’ve been “under” and “over” all of the bridges mentioned in the U.S.
I grew up in Fort Worth. When I was in the Army in Arizona, I had to fly from Tucson to Dallas for a wedding. I flew into Love Field and flew out of DFW the day it opened. It was a mess.
There were passengers who came in at one gate needing to change to a different plane at a nearby gate. They were told they had to walk all the way to the main ticket counter to get boarding passes for the next flight. Some refused. So gate agents were running back and forth between the ticket counter and gates to get the boarding passes.
I boarded my plane back to Tucson and we sat at the gate for a long time. The pilot finally came on the intercom and said "We'll take off as soon as we can find someone to put gas in this thing." We left maybe a half hour later.
I also happened to be at DFW when one of the Braniff Concorde flights took off. It took off at a very steep angle and was unbelievably loud. I put my hand on the terminal window and it was really vibrating.

The first photo of the JFK Pan Am has so many historical and other aspects not related to the airline industry combined it is incredible. Appreciate the posting of this article. Thank you.
I'm from Denver and remember this scene many times. Now the airport DIA is 30 miles from Denver and no chance to see aircraft up close.
