National Airport, Virginia, USA, Date Unknown
Photograph by Steve Raymer
A jet takes off under a waning moon at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Arlington, Virginia. Built on the sand flats of the Potomac River, the riverside runways required 20 million cubic yards (15.3 million cubic meters) of sand and gravel to raise the site 20 feet (6 meters) above the river level. Construction began November 21, 1938, under the watchful eye of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who chose the site and helped lay the cornerstone of the original terminal building.

阿灵顿的罗纳德里根国家机场,一架喷气机在亏月之下起飞,该机场建造在派特麦克(Potomac)河,流经的沙地平原上,河边的跑道,用了2千万立方码 (1千五百万立方米)的沙石,使跑道的位置能高出河面20英尺(6米).建造从1938年十一月21日开始,在当时的总统,富兰克林.D.罗斯福的监管下进行.也是他选择了机场位置,以及展开了的原-候机楼建筑的奠基工作.
