SLIDE SCANNING PROJECT
This was in the fall of 1964 at St. Louis - Lambert Airport. The jets were taking over and the Boeing 707 was leading the way. American Airlines used the gates on the opposite side of the main concourse from TWA. American also was still sporting its classic orange livery dating back to 1936. This would soon give way to the red, white and blue stripes that are now considered the "old" look of American. Visible in the lower left corner are the "jet blast deflectors" of that time. Meant to protect from damage or injury they are positioned here facing the observation deck of the main concourse. Also visible on the stairs (no jetways) is the old AA "Eagle" logo that also would be "modernized" soon.
Year: 1964
Film: Kodachrome 64
Camera: Voigtlander Prominent (Rangefinder)
Lens: Nokton 50mm 1.5
