Barksdale AFB is here in my home town. If I had one wish it would be for the Air Force to at least attempt to move some of their collection indoors. They have a B-17, B-24, P-51, and many others that really should be brought in out of the muggy Louisiana heat. Every time I visit the base it seems they have numerous hangars that are always empty (ironically two of them are adjacent to the museum's display grounds). Surely the museum could "adopt" some hangar space and diversify their display.

It will be great to see an SR-71 join the collection though :) It would look great right next to the Avro Vucan!
