It was a celebration inside Philadelphia International Airport Friday for the unveiling of the newest Rocky statue.

"Rocky is grit. Rocky is resilient. Rocky is art," PHL CEO Atif Saeed said. "His history reflects the belief, no matter the odds, no matter the setbacks, you rise, you push forward. And you fight for every inch. That spirit isn't just part of the movie — it is the DNA of Philadelphia."

The 10-foot statue is located at Terminal A West as part of the airport exhibition program. It's a duplicate of the city's other two Rocky statues that stand at the Art Museum.
