Four Captain's Memorial

Visited the Virginia Air Museum today, located on the grounds of the Richmond International Airport. Indeed, you can't get to the airport without passing the Virginia Air Musuem.

I went all the way through it, and will share photos in another blog entry, but this is specifically for the Four Captain's Memorial. As you come into the museum, it is kind of tucked away in the far left hand corner.

The Four Captains, of course, are the pilots of the four airplanes that were hijacked on 9/11.
