November 1962 - Pan Am's original terminal at Pan American Field/Miami International Airport being demolished

Miami International Airport, Florida


Thank you to Ken Wilde for posting this photo on Facebook.

The original terminal was destroyed to provide land for the Pan Am Flight Training Academy that was constructed in the mid-1960's. The Dade County Port Authority probably issued long-term tax free bonds for the construction and Pan Am paid them back in lease payments for the land and building. It's a shame that so many historical buildings have been destroyed in South Florida over the years but money talks and preservation walks.
