Awesome work putting JFK on the map! I notice you were using only Bing Maps aerials when drawing.
I have a custom 1996 NYC imagery source that could help making these old building footprints more accurate:
https://maps.nyc.gov/xyz/1.0.0/photo/1996/{z}/{x}/{y}.png8
Note, you can swap out the "1996" with 1924, 1951, 2001-2, 2004, 2006, 2008, (all even number years afterward) to access other aerials.
I understand you primarily map in FL, but these map tiles will certainly make historic mapping in NYC a breeze!
