United States Air Force Memorial

While visiting the Pentagon Memorial, you couldn't help but notice the Air Force Memorial in the background. So after paying my respects and taking my pictures at the Pentagon, i headed to the Air Force Memorial to see what that was all about. The Memorial is located in Arlington, Virginia on the grounds of Fort Myer near The  Pentagon, at the intersection of Columbia Pike and South Joyce Street. The Memorial itself is 280 feet high and appears to be soaring; its array of stainless steel arcs against the sky evokes the image of "contrails" of the Air Force Thunderbirds as they peel back in a precision 'bomb burst' maneuver." Only three of the four contrails are depicted, as the absent fourth evokes the missing man formation, traditionally used at Air Force funeral fly-overs. Well, enough of my yapping. I hope you enjoy my pics.
