Located on Air Force Memorial Drive on the grounds of Fort Myer near Arlington National Cemetery and the Pentagon, the Air Force Memorial is dedicated to the memory and service of the members of the United States Air Force. The memorial opened in 2006 and was designed by James Ingo Freed who also designed the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
The Air Force Memorial consists of three stainless steel spires ranging in height from 201 feet (61 meters) to 270 feet (82 meters). The design of the three steel arcs is similar to the pattern that is made by the Air Force Thunderbirds during their famous “bomb burst” maneuver.
