PORT AUTHORITY HELIPORT

Rising 120 feet on four mammoth tapered columns, the Port of New York Authority building is the aerial gateway to the Fair. It includes a heliport, restaurant and bar open the year round. Set below the heliport, a separate structure has movies and exhibits that tell the story of transportation in the New York - New Jersey Port District. Helicopters make sightseeing flights.

The massive size of the Port Authority building is evident in this picture from the nearby Chrysler exhibit. (CD21 Set 112 #11)
