I was looking through a catalog of airplane merchandise and recalled that they used to sell this stuff at airport terminals years ago. For instance, at the American Airlines Terminal at JFK, they used to sell playsets featuring an American Airlines aircraft and several cars,etc. This was a good way to get kids interested in aviation. For the past several years, I can't find any airplane or airliner merchandise available at local NYC airports. I recall an airplane shop at EWR which sold model airplanes, posters, captains' hats, etc. JFK had such a shop, too. Nowadays, this merchandise must be ordered over the internet or through catalogs. I guess that sales were slow at airports so they stopped selling these great items. Sad.
