The image above is a TWA advertisement from 1963. The ad features some great paleo-future design and can be found in the book The Golden Age of Advertising - The 60s.

Isn't this a picture of the inside of the TWA terminal (terminal 5) at JFK? It is currently vacant but was used for the filming of "Catch Me If You Can".
it *is* at TWA terminal at JFK in New York, http://lightningfield.com/extra/0103twa/
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's about how it looks. It was designed by Eero Saarinen. From outside it sort-of looks like a bird - it's supposed to feel light and flight like.
Just to confirm: yeah, that's a straight and uninflected rendition of the Saarinen Terminal 5 interior. http://www.flickr.com/photos/studies_and_observations/260968205/" REL="nofollow">This is what it looks like these days, as it awaits rebirth as jetBlue's NYC hub.
