“Postcards from New York”
“October 26th, 2012. This morning,
the major has opened the new Roof Landing Strip on Manhattan's Upper East Side, a circular steel
structure over Guggenheim Museum.
This new Urban airport Platform makes
the number nine in New York since the first unit was built in 1922 according to
the design made by H.T. Hanson that appeared on the famous Popular Science
review in June 1919. Since then, New York has become the city with the busiest
aerial traffic in the world, being a pioneer not only in this kind of communications
but also in including airplane as a part of its urban landscape.
The number of planes taking off these
Urban Platforms is now reaching 320, and it is one of their purposes to link
the heart of the city with the farthest suburbs that are the result of sprawl
excesses. Thousands of tourists toy with their cameras trying to catch as many
planes as they can, planes that fly through the sky of Manhattan drawing
implausible acrobatics.
There are always planes in the sky on
our postcards from New York!!!”
