It's not "news" but an essay/column (as are most articles on Salon), and since the essay talks about how the architectural aspirations of decades old airports raise our views/aspirations of flying, it doesn't seem altogether inappropriate to start the article with a picture from the "golden age of flying."

Did you even read the article?
