Memorial Benches for Airports

Memorial benches for airports are a great way to honor fallen pilots. This particular bench was made for a US Marine Corps, Shad Myers, who loved flying. We worked hard at Smith Steelworks to bring this Metropolitan Bench to the family and community of Anamosa Iowa Airport. All benches are available with custom designs that capture so much more than just their name.

Added on the bench is one of Shad’s personal planes a Grumman traveler. And on the other side was a Chinook helicopter from his time in deployment. Adding personal pictures, messages, and portraits are a great way to put meaning behind the bench.
