The call usually comes out of nowhere.

“Want to go to the airport?” asks my brother.

“I’m sorry?”

“Terminal 5 is open to the public as part of Open House NY. It is never open to the public.”

Oh! Sure! So, it turned out that OHNY somehow managed to wrangle a few hours of public access to TWA Flight Center at JFK’s Terminal 5 yesterday. Who could resist?

It was like walking into the Enterprise!

Though it looked more like a Shadow ship from the outside.

Complete with all of New York’s finest shadowy people.

But really, pure scifi.

I did a few sketches while I was there, of course.

While Josh took photos of me sketching.

I was completely obsessed with that Vulcain clock in the center of the ceiling.

Such gorgeous curves, everywhere!

Now, THAT’S good design.

Airports bright with sinuous rills, as it were.

A gorgeous day, overall – Josh posed me out in the sunlight for one last shot of the day.
