Aviation pioneers such as Howard Hughes and John Northrop will be memorialized in Westchester today when Los Angeles city officials unveil a sidewalk monument honoring the aviation manufacturers along with a sculpture of an F-18 fighter jet.

The 13-foot steel airplane replica will be the center of the sidewalk monument. A large metal compass and outline of a propeller embedded in the ground will point to plaques of the manufacturers and famous pilots such as Amelia Earhart and Charles Lindbergh.
