So im planning on making a replica of the old international terminal at SFO. Does anyone know of any good sites besides airliners.net where i can get some better photos ofthe building exterior. I am using google earth to get the birds eye view so thati can shape out the building buti really want to put the exterior into great detail. I plan on taking two to three months on this project becausei want it to be EXTREMELY well done and created.

Really, that is so cool. I am well into airport architecture. That site is one of my favourites. His eulogy to the halcyon days of Love Field is so cool. I feel that way about Prestwick. Im off to look at your Stapleton piccys now.

wow, i didn't know it looked like that back then. it wasn't even the full ring.

i think the present sfo is one of the best laid out airports ever.

it's a clearly laid out ring, unlike some airports that are messy jumbles of add-on terminals in randomish places.

There are actually 3 old SFO international terminals:
When what is now terminal 2, or once the Central Terminal, opened in the 1950's, international flights used what later became the PSA/Northwest Orient/Hughes Airwest/National concourse.
When the South Terminal (now terminal 1) opened in the early 60's, the first concourse on the west side was the international pier, and customs/immigration was located down below. In the 70's a rotunda was added at the end of this pier, as part of what would have been an aggressive remodel of the entire airport, that never progressed beyond this. The rotunda was not attached to the end of the original international pier, but off to the side, you had to make a sharp right at the end of the original concourse to go into the rotunda. What was really cool about this location was that you could go out and meet international flights, and follow the arriving passengers into the terminal, they were behind glass walls until they went downstairs into the immigration hall.
The original Central Terminal was remodeled in the early 80's into the present shape that is Terminal 2 today, and international flights used that until the new international terminal opened approximately 7 years ago. PSA and later USAir (and others) used the old rotunda terminal until is was finally razed about a year ago. It stood between the south pier of the current international terminal and the Alaska/CO/WN/US concourse.
