JFK Air Train
The train to the plane: the JFK Air Train

The Air Train, a light rail system between John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and subway/rail terminals in Howard Beach and Jamaica New York, opened on December 17, 2003.  It was the 100th anniversary of the Wright Brothers' first powered flight.  I rode it for the first time on Feburary 7, 2004 and took a series of pictures which are mounted here.
