Statue Catching a Plane

A statue trying to catch a plane might not be the first image that springs to mind when you think of bright and cheerful postcards. That’s probably because it doesn’t exactly scream the welcoming vibe most cities are going for. Next time you’re hopping on a United flight, maybe double-check if you’ve got “statue-proofing your life” insurance. If it exists, there’s probably a reason.

I stumbled upon this peculiar statue during a visit to Chicago. It looked like it was trying to grab the tail of a massive airplane, much to the amusement and bewilderment of those around. Chicago’s known for its unique art and attractions, but this one definitely takes the cake for being out there.
