Featuring three stainless steel spires that soar skyward, the tallest reaching a height of 270 feet, the Memorial’s design is truly representative of flight and the flying spirit of the Air Force. The three spires impart a sense of accomplishment in command of the sky, and evoke the image of the precision “bomb burst” maneuver performed by the United States Air Force Thunderbird Demonstration Team."

Interesting. To me, the spires look like the trails left by three jets taking off. A bomb burst? Interesting. To me, the spires look like the trails left by three jets taking off.
