We saw this on treehugger the other day and figured it had to be a joke.

Environmentalists agog about Airport in Central Park

The idea behind the airport is the reduction in fuel consumption from auto trip reduction between Manhattan and the major airports. It's our 'environmental responsibility.'

But not to fear, they'll work to incorporate as many historic park elements as possible...

Vestigial architectural elements of the original Central Park site will, when possible, be retained or reworked in to the context of the new designs. Past will meet present in an aesthetic, yet pragmatic dialogue as our city’s priceless architectural heritage is reshaped and infused with a bold new relevance and sense of purpose befitting the financial and cultural capital of the world.

From the image above, it really looks like they've done a good job working those elements in....

After a little more digging and the ever-accurate wikipedia, it looks like this might be a hoax...let's hope someone isn't serious about this proposal.
