The Loring Air Force Base Arch Hangar is a hangar constructed by the United States Air Force as part of Loring Air Force Base. It was constructed at the same time as the base's double cantilever hangar. The arch hangar was the largest monolithic arch structure in the United States at the time of its completion.[2]
