Flight 5191 Memorial

The University of Kentucky Arboretum is home to a sculpture commemorating the Comair Flight 5191 crash victims. A 17-foot tall sculpture of 49 stylized silver bird figures sweeps heavenward in a rush of energy and movement: the number of birds corresponds to the 49 souls lost in the Flight 5191 tragedy.
