ASME cover awards, finalist 2008: best service cover of the year:

New York’s overcrowded airports have become a national crisis, but they are also a local crisis every time New Yorkers have to travel. New York’s November 12, 2007 “Airport Hell” cover, with dozens of jets seemingly taking off at the same time in Ho-Yeol Ryu’s brilliant photo montage, at once humorous and frightening, perfectly captures the idea of our troubled skies (and the accompanying chaos on the ground).
