Aviation History And Aircraft Photography

B-17F Flying Fortress
Offutt Air Force Base
Bellevue, NE

B-17

B-17F Homesick Angel parked as a gate guard at the main gate to Offutt Air Force Base in Bellevue, Nebraska. Offutt was once the home of the Strategic Air Command. After the cold war was over, SAC stood down, and its role was transferred to the Air Combat Command. Offutt is still the home of the strategic command within TAC. Offutt AFB is higher security than many air bases, so getting access to photograph this gate guard would be all but impossible since 9/11.
