In late August 1954, the new Central Terminal (now Terminal 2) at San Francisco International Airport was dedicated during a three-day ceremony. The event drew hundreds of thousands of visitors, showcased forty-three aircraft for visitors to tour, and featured speeches from California Governor Goodwin J. Knight and San Francisco Mayor Elmer E. Robinson. Special guests of the event included Bernard M. “Mike” Doolin, former director of the airport who were issued this special guest badge. As SFO had reached 2 million passengers flying in and out of the airport in 1952, the new terminal building was built with the facilities to accommodate several million passengers. event badge: San Francisco International Airport Dedication and Flight Festival, special guest; 08/27/1954-08/29/1954 Gift of Mark A.
