Aircraft Mechanics Creed Monument in Kalfafellsstadur, Iceland

On an isolated stretch of the Ring Road in South Iceland, a portion of a white wing from an Icelandair Boeing 757-200, has been mounted. It is dedicated to the service of aviation mechanics. The aircraft mechanic’s oath is printed on the wing. The wing is set against the stunning backdrop of sheer mountain cliffs and the island’s wilderness. It is not the location of an airplane wreck, and, there is no indication why this out-of-the-way location was chosen.
