This is hardly a landmark worthy of its own page, but if you're not in a hurry, its worth a swing by to see a very nice statue and the plaque commemorating Colorado native astronaut Swigert.

My flight was delayed a couple of hours so I had time to kill and wandered around the different terminals in DIA.This statue was located as soon as I disembarked at the Terminal B tram station. People were rushing all around me that I felt a little out of place stopping in front of the statue. The statue depicts John Swigert Jr dressed in a pretty realistic looking space suit. On the backside was a plaque that highlighted it was a replica of the actual one displayed in the US Capitol. It also detailed his education, multiple applications to NASA and the infamous Apollo XIII mission where he and his fellow astronauts successfully piloted their damaged spacecraft back to earth. They were all heroes.

It’s always interesting to see interesting sculptures in places you don’t usually expect them. You can’t miss this statue I f you are taking the tram to or from Terminal B. It is located right where you board the trams in Terminal B. Nice tribute to this local astronaut.

We noticed this Statue as we were going through the Denver Airport. This airport has lots of interesting Art Work hanging on the walls. Not sure of the meaning behind all of the Art Work and the Blue Horse outside of the Airport. Different kind of airport out by itself.

The statue of this famous astronaut is easy to stop in the middle of the B Gates train station. It is worth making a stop even if you were going to another station- trains operate frequently. Very well designed and implemented statue with a brief history of the dramatic events with Apollo 13.
