In 2000, when I was the Airport Manager at Phoenix-Goodyear Airport (owned by the City of Phoenix), located about 25 miles west of downtown Phoenix, we dedicated a brand new terminal building. The aviation department’s art curator thought it a good idea to hang a picture of a TWA Lockheed Constellation flying over the Grand Canyon in a prominent place in the lobby. I emphatically said, “NO,” and proceeded to tell her the story you are about to read.
