Air Force Memorial
02. United States Air Force Memorial
Arlington, Virginia
Architect: James Ingo Freed
General Contractor: Cianbro/Centex
The design represents flight of spirit, and the three core values of the Air Force. Integrity first, service before self, and excellence in all that is done. Excellence was reflected structurally, ascending to a height of 270 feet, and constituting 1 million lbs. of pure stainless steel. Mariani’s ground-breaking R&D realized incredible efficiencies in fabrication. Building the structure in-shop, Mariani developed a method using nylon slings, allowing him to lift unimaginable weights of steel 40 feet high.
