6N4, Pan Am Metroport Heliport
Now closed this heliport was one of the most famous in the world. The jet set would
fly into one the major airports of New York and then take the Pan Am shuttle
helicopter, take the elevator and arrive in the heart of Manhattan in less then 20
minutes after getting off the aircraft.
After a very nasty accident the heliport was closed and with Pam Am also gone (sort
of) it is just history. But one that you can relive. Just look for the MetLife building
(the name is in huge letters on this building).
