Blue Mustang, also known as Blucifer, is a striking blue sculpture of a mustang with glowing red eyes located at Denver International Airport. Created by artist Luis Jiménez, the 32-foot statue weighs approximately 9,000 pounds and has garnered both praise and criticism for its unique appearance. Despite the tragic accident that led to Jiménez's death during its creation, the sculpture was completed by his family and unveiled in 2008. Its controversial nature has sparked public debate, with some calling for its removal while others see it as a bold addition to Denver's public art collection.

Be sure to say "hail Blucifer" on your way in from the airport to ensure good luck on your trip here in Colorado.
