Protesters Block Kennedy Road as SST Landing Tactics Grow
A convoy of about 550 cars moved slowly at Kennedy Airport in a protest against the Concorde, with ROAR led by Joseph Ewald Jr. demanding a permanent ban. Organizers claimed victory, noting limited arrests and continued traffic, while travelers faced cab delays and disruptions to air travel. Capt. Ralph Combariati of Port Authority praised the visible action, though critics said the drive slowed instead of halted operations. The group vows weekly demonstrations until Carter and officials ban the SST.
