The City of St. Louis and Lambert-St. Louis International Airport officially dedicated an original sculpture last month by internationally recognized Mexican artist Leonardo Nierman entitled "Sensacion de Vuelo" (Flying Sensation). The sculpture was a gift to St. Louis on behalf of the people of Mexico. The 10-ft. high polished steel work of art was installed just west of Terminal 2 on the lawn near the International Arrival Lobby at Lambert.
