Forever PanAm
Pershing Square, Park Ave viaduct, and my pride PanAm Bldg (Metlife); as a born NYer and X blue ball engineer with PanAm this building always had meaning to me.
Story has it that Juan Trippe wanted 8 signs 2 each side of the bldg to taunt Howard Hughes than owner of TWA whom had its corporate office in the Chrysler Bldg, and Hughes office facing west in the buildings lcrown. As well as Eastern Airlines who's corporate office was at 2 Rockefeller Center (which lobby is still a amazing sight to see)
Three titans of the heyday of Aviation now just memories.
