Airport window to become art
NEW YORK (AP) - February 21, 2008 But American Airlines is closing the window on its huge
stained glass at New York's JFK airport. It was the longest window
in the world when its red, sapphire and purple panels were unveiled
in 1960. It's longer than a football field and is more than 20 feet
high. But now the terminal is being replaced. The airline says
trying to move and store the huge stained-glass facade would be too
expensive. Small pieces of the window will become floor displays at
Kennedy Airport, at the airline's Fort Worth, Texas, headquarters
and at a Long Island museum.
