So this is actually a really neat statue. I figured it would be a pass-by attraction. I wound up hanging out for 45 minutes, watching the airplanes take off and people skydive down.
There is a gravel parking lot and picnic table so it's easy to get out and inspect the statue and hang out watching the planes.
