HOISINGTON — Soon, when cross-country flyers stop at the Salina Regional Airport to refuel, they will be able to take in a unique and educational art display created by Hoisington’s own B&B Metal Arts. Bruce and Brent Bitter were commissioned in October, 2016, to create the Steve Fossett Sculpture Plaza which will be dedicated later this month, memorializing Fossett’s amazing 2005 flight around the world in his Global Flyer, a feat that broke several world records. It’s a story Bruce Bitter, also an amateur pilot, has become intimately familiar with over the past year and a half, and one he is excited to share with the world through his art.
