“The new John Rodgers Terminal was dedicated August 22, 1962,”
So the picture was in that terminal ... around Christmas 1971.

I AGREE WITH YOU REGARDING THE DATE/PHOTO ISSUE. HERE IS AN EARLIER POST FROM THIS THREAD FROM BIGLOOK:

“My eyesight is normal but my memory is excellent......I’ve only walked past the Overseas terminal at HNL dozens of times...”
If BIGLOOK has been to the terminal several times and recognizes it, then this picture must be of the new terminal (opened in 1962).
Unless, perhaps, BIG LOOK recognizes it from dozens of trip PRIOR to 1962.
Let's not be so hasty in making that conclusion.
The caption at the photo site said the picture was the "Pan American Ticket Lobby, Honolulu International Airport, 1960."
So, if the picture says it's from 1960, the new terminal was dedicated in 1962, and the old terminal was shut down immediately afterwards, then is the Obama picture in the old terminal or did they build a new terminal identical to the old terminal, or something else?
Was the Obama picture taken in a terminal that looks like the 1960 terminal that was shut down in 1962 (but the photo was taken in 1971), did the Hawaii government get the date wrong by a decade on the old terminal photo, did they build a duplicate terminal, or what?
