The Pan Am building at the foot of Park Avenue towered over the middle of Manhattan. It was finished in 1963 and was the largest commercial office building in the world.
Atop this sky scrapper in 1963 NY Airways began offering helicopter service between Manhattan and New York’s three major airports.
The building was later sold to Metropolitan Life Insurance and is now known as the MetLife Building.
