Commissioned by East Midlands Airport and installed in 2005.
A series of relief art stepping stones, sculpted by Graeme Mitcheson.

The designs shown on the stepping stones were decided by students from local primary schools during a number of workshops with the artist. The students were asked to create models of flight images using clay. The schools involved in the project were:
• Orchard Primary School, Castle Donington
• St Edward's Primary School, Castle Donington
• Kegworth Primary School
• Diseworth Primary School
