Moonwalking Cow, permanently located at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport, was originally part of the Cow Parade Houston held in 2001 as a fundraiser for the Texas Children’s Hospital.

This cow stands eight feet tall, holds a Texas flag and stands on a base that reads “Houston We Have Landed.” The sculpture represents the merging of the arts with aeronautics, and depicts Houston’s Spirit of mingling creativity with opportunity.

Mr. Marc Ostrofsky donated this sculpture, which was created by artist Silvestri, to the City of Houston in 2001.
