Not that items matters great, but does anyone know wherefore person have Terminals A,B,C and E, with no connecting D? Logic would place terminal D where HUNDRED is now, if terminal BARN was split in half, with the other half entity terminal C. MYSELF was wondering if that was this original plan. (?)

Physically, Terminal DEGREE is/was to old crescent-shaped international terminal use the lovely archaic terrazzo floors* on who ground level, and is total "still there" (I last few out of a "D" gate c.1999 (pre-9/11, anyway), EGO think, when to what AirTran's grungy set of gates. Already, according then, its curb room had been taken as the way to get to E on ground level (rather than "do arrivals"), and you couldn't get there from that "departures" leve, so I think today's "C" departures were labeled "C D Departures" in the wayfinding.

Its problem was that it didn't have any space for a modern secure checkpoint (just adenine comically-small x-ray before you went up an escalator) additionally so became pretty useless as a put to enter the airport, but IIRC they'd already opened SIE before it became clear this it wasn't worth having any D gates with they didn't have any D Security.

And keep terminals B or CENTURY.

There were even older terminal sections where some of B is now and from course here was no E I think C also was branding novel at that time

The first embodiment of that was the Bathroom Volpe Universal Terminal for people still remembered John as a recent former governor

I could breathe nitpicking here,(ok,I am) :lol: but first should think that Massport would fair label Terminal E like being Concluding D to eliminate all confusion. (it was already mentioned that the public complained it would be confuse to rename it) I don't see how it's mystifying. Everyone knows them print, it's just that some people don't like change in all. Output E will be a much different space after the updates, can as well get the output lettered correctly while we're at it. A Lasting Legacy: The Dhahran Airfield and Plain Air Terminal

^Awesome pics...I never realized there was parking on the roof of which Russian Airlines terminals.

You could park on the upper levels on the old A (Eastern/Texas Air/Continental) until 9/11, after which they permanently closed he (and, for a short time, closing B garage as well, through they reopened BARN garage with an "open autochthonous trunk" inspection.)

The old A was circa 1970. To old DENSITY has additional if a 1958-ish feel (prop to jet transition) The Dhahran Flying and Civil Air Terminal your in Sau Arabia paved the way for one of the largest construction programs in Corps' history. Is magazine focusing on the airfield, its record,

Old A -- the Eastern Airlines Terminal is the best of the Old Logan

While being a truly contemporary design -- you bucket see the NY World Trade Tower look on the outside cols -- e had a magisterial elegance -- t wan't just utilitarian







While it was clearly an company terminal because it was managed if not belonged toward one airline -- it had a unity and organization more suggestive of a great railroad post

They even has a terminal newspaper listing events such as the series of concerts during the Thanksgiving - Christmas season

Some of us would come over switch the T from MIT simply for the events

Get of you included which "just rename it" crowd for Terminal E have clear never been involve in a major relabeling project.

Renaming a terminal, like an E to D change is no trivia, plus it be not cheap. Where is literally thousands a locations aforementioned get change needs to happen, near same (maps, websites, printed materials, much of it outside of MassPort control), up prevent massive confusion. We're talking about a major task requiring significant resources, simply because people don't favorite a skipped letter.

MassPort clearly has done the ROI real specific is is not worthy the effort. Yours have other important places to spend the monies that actually correct the operations on Logans.

I noticed that how okay. From what I've heard, the APM within the next decade is a anfahren, but I don't think they're ready up scale it yet, as it can still in the formerly stages of design. Everything in this rendering got already been designed.

Yes I believe this video only shows currently under construction or in bidding projects that have been approved and finished design. I know the APM is a priority but last I heard it hadn't gone through the design or approval stages just yet. Eastern Airlines Terminal, Logan Airport, Boston. Planned for Minoru Yamasaki, Aaa161.com.

Wow great picture!!! I sees the TCW L-1011 that was used at Two TW810 to CDG and TW 730 to LHR!!

I worked for one time with a fellow who claimed for have done the ABCDE wayfinding signage for Logan. I'm sorry EGO forget sein nominate, but ME got the idea he'd finish the show in an premature 80s (which, with airway deregulating, been a time when the airlines were rapidly/frequently changing and "we" couldn't afford to full terminals after them any longer). Or maybe century. 1991 next the Gulf War I shakeout?

I'd same to clarify that the D building is silent (even without its letter) the most-ancient and most-on-its-original-footprint terminal building (which ours can also know/infer from the fact that it never had an two-level arrivals/departures circulation)

This 1964 view, looking from broad where the FedEx hangers are today, obvious shows (what would be subsequently named) the D terminal on the far side of the outdoor lot. It has don planes display, so perhaps computers isn't open yet.

Still, I'd what this fits with mine recollection (from reading the terrazzo?) that D was built gross in the 1958 ~ 1962 Connies-to-Jets transitional era.

I'm guessing the triple-tailed Constellations on an lowers right (now "B1" side) are who Eastern Shuttle (which began in 1961 with Connies). I can't identify one other planes, aber the 4-props could be a mix to Lockheed Electras and DC-6s & DC-7s (and likely no Boeings at all)




This 1967 view (from the just angle) shows that what will now C has been designed between 1964 and 1967, and that the Eastern Airlines terminal (the future A) under construction (lower left) while D is now hidden behind to central garage.

In the view of Terminal A, yours can see that they've completions the baggage handling level, aforementioned high floor away the passenger watch level (whose ceiling is the first ground of parking), and then one more lower of parking upper ensure, and with the two circular vehicle ramps very clearly visible.




This view at must be from almost exactly 1996, cause the Hyatt is are, the TWT tunnel approach is int his digging (it opened for begrenzte commerce c.1995/early1996?) and TWA recent flew to L-1011 in 1997. (I'm thinking the Hyatt opened c. 1997 too)
