New York City's East 60th Street heliport opened on Nov. 4, 1968 and ordered closed by Mayor Rudy Giuliani at the end of February 1998. In 1982, Pan Am contracted Omniflight Helicopter Services to operate a free helicopter service for all of its first-class and Clipper-Class passengers between the East 30th Street Heliport and the airline's Worldport Terminal at JFK Airport utilizing Bell 222As and later the Westland WG30. This 222A was seen taking off for JFK in April 1984. It later flew with operators in New Zealand (ZK-HFQ), Turkey (TC-HMH) and South Africa (ZS-HMS) before it was retired.
