 In the opening images of the show, there is a sign
with arrows on it pointing to cities all over the globe. Rick wanted
to recreate that sign at the airport outside the hangar that houses
HIF museum displays and the HIF airplane. After mentioning it at a
monthly meeting, the HIF members were all in on the project.
Rick with the help of other members planted an eight sided pole to
hold the arrows, and sawed arrows that would be a perfect fit for
the pole. Why an eight-sided pole? “With that many sides each arrow
will have a chance to be accurate in pointing in the correct
direction,” said Kidd.
Kidd asked members to paint their favorite city on an arrow. The
idea was to mimic the sign on M.A.S.H. where all of the arrows were
painted by different people so they all looked different.
Rick then contacted Logan County Arts President Jason Hoffman to see
if the group would be interested in asking members to paint some of
the arrows. Again, members of LCA jumped at the opportunity to add
their hand to this new piece of Logan County Airport sculpture.
Some members of Logan County Arts added their own personal
interpretation to the city names. The arrows all have a unique look
to them. There is room for a few more arrows should anyone want to
contribute one.

Heritage in Flight would like to thank LCA member and owner of
the Lincoln Art Institute Moses Pinkerton for going the extra mile to seal all
of the paint on the arrows with a clear coat. They will last a long time without
fading.
The Logan County Airport and the Heritage in Flight Museum attract land and air
visitors from all over the United States who are sure to enjoy the added
attraction.
Visit the airport and check out Rick Kidd’s excellent idea.
