B-17G Flying Fortress
8th Air Force Museum
Shreveport, LA
B-17G Yankee Doodle II on display at the 8th Air Force Museum
near Barksdale AFB on the east side of Shreveport, Louisiana. The
museum is located on the active air base, but visitor passes are
available at the nearest gate (depending on threat level). In
fact, on the morning of 9/11, Barksdale AFB is where they took
President Bush to stash him away in an underground bunker.
