佛吉尼亚州,国家机场
下弦月当空,一艘喷气式飞机从佛吉尼亚州阿林顿罗纳德里根华盛顿国家机场起飞。位于河畔的飞机跑道建造在波拖马可河沙坪之上,高于河面20英尺(6米),由2千万立方码(1530万立方米)沙子和砂砾垒造而成。富兰克林.D.罗斯福总统选址在此,于1938年11月21日开始督建,并帮助奠基了最初的候机大厅。

英文注释:
National Airport, Virginia
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.
