Air Force Memorial


The great curving spires of the Air Force Memorial are impressive from afar, and basically awesome up close—well worth a visit.  Kudos to the minds that thought this thing up and to those who built it (completed in 2006).  Looking up the dizzying, 270-foot high curved blades, I noticed the evenly spaced “bolt hangers” (to borrow a rock-climbing term) leading up each one.  I determined these must be for maintaining the monument, both to keep it tidy and bright and to periodically replace the aircraft warning lights at the top.  I want that job.
