The Sculpture

The P-51 sculpture that I am aiming to acquire (see above) is awesome.  It is 11 feet tall, 7 feet wide, 6 feet front to back, and it weighs over 2,000 pounds. 

The sculpture was made by ROBERT HENDERSON.   Mr. Henderson was a pilot who also got into sculpting.  Since he was interested in aviation, he made plane sculptures and earned the title "The Warbird Sculptor".  His studio was Canyon City, Colorado, where he worked for 35 years until his passing on September 6th, 2023

The sculpture is big, but it will fit perfectly in the corner spot at the Town Hall of Monument.  And a plaque that will go on the front will provide information about the P-51, honor Col Earl Depner, Robert Henderson and also honor ALL pilots that made the sacrifices they did during WW2.  

The statue was installed in December of 2024, and dedicated to the Town of Monument on June 8th, 2025.
