The highly-anticipated new Boeing B-314 Model of the iconic “Yankee Clipper,” sister plane to The Hawaii Clipper, and three new bronze historical plaques at the Marine Air Terminal (MAT), LaGuardia Airport (LGA) in Queens, New York City were installed in October 2021. The legendary Clippers once came and went from the MAT, connecting America with places across the Atlantic long before air travel was an everyday event. The MAT is still in use today as an active terminal.
The MAT is now a “listed’” building on the records of New York State Landmarks Preservation Commission and the National Register of Historic Places. Opened in 1940, the MAT served as Pan Am’s North Atlantic Operations headquarters.
