There are a couple of these neon signs in the north pier of Logan Airport’s Terminal B. These face large banks of windows in the terminal so that passengers both in the lounge as well as in taxing planes can see theme.

They are truly pieces of art and should be conserved in this way!
This video highlights the craft and detail within a range of vintage neon signs amazing!
