Better than MoMA

helicopter_08.jpg

The Museum of Modern Art in New York may have Aruthur Young's Bell-47D1 Helicopter hanging in its galleries but this past week the Nelson-Atkins hosted a helicopter flight in action.

The purpose of the visit was to deliver several very large air handling units into the Museum through an opening on the roof of the Nelson-Atkins Building.

I like the composition of this image with the helicopter on the lawn next to one of the Shuttlecocks. The helicopter practically looks miniature compared to the sculpture. Maybe an idea for a new acquisition in the Kansas City Sculpture Park?
