Blast from the Past: Tampa’s Fabulous New Airport Terminal (1971)

Tampa’s airport — where I’m writing this article — is a pretty nice one. It’s easy to navigate, well-organized, has lots of facilities and it’s pretty quick to get around. The passenger reviewers at Skytrax agree with me, having given it a 9/10 rating.

In its honour, I present this blast from the past: a 1971 promotional film documenting the then-new terminal built to accommodate the new larger jets of that era.
