But not only was that way out of the way, but it was just, they couldn't expand it enough to be a modern airport. So yeah, so then he said, my ticket says New York City. So they flew him to Floyd Bennett Field where someone picked him up and drove him to the mayor's mansion.

Yeah, I think he might have been the last in some ways to have that kind of clout. And that's how LaGuardia Airport came about, which now seems like, I don't know if you fly in there ever. I do. It's not a wonder of the world. No, no, no. But it was.

And even the Nazi regime, who were obsessed with airports and aviation, they came and studied it because it was, at the time, it was the biggest airport in the world.

LaGuardia Airport could handle so many, I can't remember exactly, but you know, 30 planes at a time. No one else could do that. And it was because of this, the central terminal was pretty conventional. I mean, it could have been a railroad station. But a bunch of unknown engineers, I was never able to find out who actually did it. They created this thing called the Skywalk Boarding Pier.

Very few people go to the airport anymore to watch planes come in. I mean, there are nerds who are sky watchers or whatever they call them. But most people go, you know, now just to meet people or travel themselves. But then it was a big deal. So they were trying to separate the gawkers from the actual passengers, and then passengers used the lower level.

So it was the first, in a way, you know, really thought out, engineered master plan for what an airport could be, how it could function more efficiently.

Post-war period, there was this huge, huge boom in air travel because all these GIs who had flown to Europe, you know, they were used to sitting in an air transport. That wasn't a big deal. So Suddenly after the war, there was this massive boom in air travel. And at that point, they realized, you know, it was more than just a self-contained building. You needed these things.
