The Air Force Academy Chapel



The Chapel at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs is a site to behold. Designed to look like fighter jet shooting up into the sky it has 5 different areas for worship, one each for Protestantism, Catholicism and Judaism and two separate rooms for All-Faith services. The interior is just as breath taking with 99' ceilings and a pipe organ with 4,334 pipes. (the bottom picture was taken handheld with the old Kodak point and shoot digital). The building and parts of the campus are open most days to the public. The day we were there the incoming freshman were there beginning their basic military training prior to the start of the academic year.
