Symbol for John Wayne Airport Just Won’t Fly

In reference to airport art at John Wayne: Zeus must be shaking with Olympian laughter at the man who is perturbed by the “nudity” of the classic figure of Icarus and believes that a picture of an airplane is preferable to the mythological symbol for flight.

I am surprised that no one objects to the use of Icarus, who fell to earth after flying too close to the sun!

Shakespeare had a line for all this: “What fools these mortals be.” Too bad they are deciding what is fit for public consumption.
