we drove back to Barksdale and got there about 1515. Homebase to both the B-52 Stratofortress and the A-10 Thunderbolt II, Barksdale is an important air force base in United States. All vehicles are subject to search.

They have a museum there, and we went through that. It is Free, but you need
A Government issued ID, (Drivers License, Passport etc.) to gain entry at the museum entrance.
No backpacks, briefcases or large bags will be allowed in any buildings.
Visitors please sign in upon entering the museum.

Inside the museum are displays of

"The Home Front" a large cabinet radio, and a Gold Star flag


and "The History of Aerial Bombardment"

B 52 Gunner Shield and B-52 Stratofortress Gunnery Turret


including photos and displays on other Army Air Corps and Air Force planes. It was very dark and photography was difficult.


After we looked around the museum, went into the museum shop and looked around briefly, but did not buy anything. The items that they have for sale are available on the internet.
