Just to complicate things a bit, I found
this site, where this
1971 terminal map of Honolulu airport shows the Phillipines and Japan airlines in the same relative positions as what the signs in the background of the Obama photo suggests. It also shows a large Pan Am section in the opposite perspective, also giving credence to the 1960 Old Terminal photo, which had the same counters, poles, and signs, in a way that would not show the other airlines.
The copyright on the map is 1971. If the old terminal was demolished in the early 1960's, what terminal did the Hawaii Aviation site show and label as the old terminal?

If the old terminal was demolished in the early 1960's, what terminal did the Hawaii Aviation site show and label as the old terminal? The picture of the old terminal came from this page:
Old Terminal
The old Terminal at Honolulu International Airport was located on the South Ramp. Operations at the old terminal ceased on October 14, 1962 and were switched to the new Terminal on the North Ramp.
The caption under the picture says: Pan American Airways Ticket Lobby, Honolulu International Airport, 1960.
