In 1995 , the airport opened Founders ' Plaza , an observation park dedicated to the founders of DFW Airport . The site offered a panoramic view of the south end of the airport and hosted several significant events , including an employee memorial the day after the September 11 , 2001 , terrorist attacks and the airport 's 30th anniversary celebration in 2004 . As part of the perimeter taxiway project , Founders ' Plaza was closed in 2007 and moved to a new location surrounding a - tall beacon on the north side of the airport in 2008 . The plaza features a granite monument and sculpture , post-mounted binoculars , piped-in voices of air traffic controllers and shade pavilions . In 2010 , a memorial honoring Delta Air Lines Flight 191 was dedicated at the plaza
