air force memorial

This morning we went out to the Air Force Memorial. Though we’d seen it and admired its form many times driving into and out of the city, we’d never actually stopped to see it and decided to give it a closer look…. annnd probably couldn’t have picked a much colder day to do it. Still, the sky was clear blue and there were only two other groups of people out there besides us. Next we need to check it out at night when those curves are all lit up.

Beautiful! I can’t tell, though, the etching of the airplane…is it on the “floor” or one of the swooping columns?

The etching of the airplane (or is it a jet?) — it’s acually on a large glass plane that is part of the memorial. It also had some words and names etched into it too, if I remember correctly. It’s down the walkway a little ways away from the curves.
