Missouri Louisiana Gate Guards, Outside Museum Displays and Air Parks Barksdale Air Force Base: Museum Display AT-11, B-17, B-24, B-29, B-47, B-52D, B-52G, C-45, C-47, F-84, F-111, KC-97, KC-135, Mig-21, P-51, SR-71, T-33, Vulcan Several of the aircraft are in bad shape, to include the B-17, B-24 and B-29. The B-29 has no vertical stabilizer and the ailerons are rotted out, while the B-24 had no engine cowlings. The B-17 also had its ailerons rotted out and the elevators were gone altogether. I happened to visits Barksdale in 1979 and was able to see both the B-17 and B-24 right after they had come out of restoration. They were immaculate. Time, lack of resources, and being out in the elements have taken their toll. Hopefully there is a plan to get these aircraft back into better condition.
