1931 and 1933 on 22,000 acres east of Shreveport and named for Lieutenant Eugene Hoy Barksdale, a test pilot killed in 1926. Its scale and its brick art-deco buildings reflect the ambitions of the interwar Army Air Corps, and the base has been a bomber station for essentially its whole life &mdash; B-17s and B-24s in training, then B-47s, and the B-52 Stratofortress since 1963.<\/p>\n<p>The 2nd Bomb Wing, the oldest bomb wing in the Air Force, flies B-52Hs here alongside the Air Force Reserve&rsquo;s 307th Bomb Wing, which flies the same aircraft. Barksdale became the institutional centre of the American nuclear air force in 2009 when Air Force Global Strike Command was created here in the wake of the Minot-Barksdale nuclear transfer incident and other failures; the command runs the bombers and the missile wings, and Eighth Air Force, the descendant of the Mighty Eighth, is headquartered on the same base. The Global Power Museum sits just outside the gate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section id=\"sat\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">Satellite<\/div>\n<h2>Barksdale Air Force Base from above<\/h2>\n<div class=\"satfig\" id=\"satfig\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Enlarge the satellite view\">\n<div class=\"satimg\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Barksdale Air Force Base seen from above\"><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"satzoom\">Click to enlarge<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"satcap\"><b>One runway, 3,580 m of asphalt, porous mix.<\/b><span>Imagery: Esri, Maxar, Earthstar Geographics and the GIS user community<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"satlb\" id=\"satlb\"><span class=\"satlbx\">Close<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"satbig\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Barksdale Air Force Base seen from above, enlarged\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<style>#mfam .satimg{background-image:url(\"https:\/\/server.arcgisonline.com\/ArcGIS\/rest\/services\/World_Imagery\/MapServer\/export?bbox=-93.70993,32.48331,-93.61547,32.52029\\26 bboxSR=4326\\26 imageSR=3857\\26 size=1600,743\\26 format=jpg\\26 f=image\")!important}#mfam .satbig{background-image:url(\"https:\/\/server.arcgisonline.com\/ArcGIS\/rest\/services\/World_Imagery\/MapServer\/export?bbox=-93.70710,32.47684,-93.61830,32.52676\\26 bboxSR=4326\\26 imageSR=3857\\26 size=2048,1365\\26 format=jpg\\26 f=image\")!important}@media(max-width:820px){#mfam .satimg{background-image:url(\"https:\/\/server.arcgisonline.com\/ArcGIS\/rest\/services\/World_Imagery\/MapServer\/export?bbox=-93.68463,32.48331,-93.64077,32.52029\\26 bboxSR=4326\\26 imageSR=3857\\26 size=760,760\\26 format=jpg\\26 f=image\")!important}}<\/style>\n<div id=\"sat-data\" data-js=\"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\"><\/div>\n<p><script>(function(){var el=document.getElementById(\"sat-data\");var js=decodeURIComponent(escape(atob(el.getAttribute(\"data-js\"))));var sc=document.createElement(\"script\");sc.text=js;document.body.appendChild(sc);})();<\/script><section class=\"pqband\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"pqrow\">\n<figure class=\"pq\">\n<blockquote><p>Make no mistake: The United States will hunt down and punish those responsible for these cowardly acts.<\/blockquote><figcaption><b>George W.

AFGSC was activated at the base on 7 August 2009 and today accounts for more than 33,700 airmen and civilians. Two of the three legs of the nuclear triad answer to a headquarters set in the pine woods of Bossier Parish, Louisiana.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"kff\">AFGSC keeps 400 Minuteman III missiles on alert and runs 12 wings plus the Joint Global Strike Operations Center.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"kf\">\n<div class=\"kfn\">02<\/div>\n<h3>Home of the Mighty Eighth Air Force<\/h3>\n<p>Eighth Air Force, the numbered air force that carried the daylight bombing campaign over Europe, is headquartered at Barksdale. It commands every operational heavy bomber wing in the United States Air Force &mdash; two B-52H wings, two B-1B wings and one B-2 wing. Since August 2018 it has also hosted the Joint Global Strike Operations Center, the warfighting air component to United States Strategic Command.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"kff\">Eighth Air Force numbers more than 21,000 active-duty, civilian, Guard and Reserve personnel.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"kf\">\n<div class=\"kfn\">03<\/div>\n<h3>The 2nd Bomb Wing and the B-52H<\/h3>\n<p>The base&rsquo;s flying mission belongs to the 2nd Bomb Wing, whose lineage runs back to the 1st Day Bombardment Group organised in France on 10 September 1918 &mdash; the first American unit dedicated to aerial bombardment. It flies three squadrons of B-52H Stratofortresses and trains every B-52 crew in Global Strike Command and the Air Force Reserve. Its motto is Libertatem Defendimus, Liberty We Defend.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"kff\">Barksdale hosts 47 B-52 bombers with a stated weapon-system value of 4.9 billion dollars.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"kf\">\n<div class=\"kfn\">04<\/div>\n<h3>Where President Bush spoke on 11 September 2001<\/h3>\n<p>Air Force One diverted to Barksdale on the morning of 11 September 2001 while Washington was still judged unsafe. The President recorded a short statement to the nation in a building on the base; for security reasons it was taped rather than broadcast live. The wooden lectern he used is now an exhibit in the base museum.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"kff\">The 9\/11 Commission recorded that Air Force One landed at Barksdale at about 11:45 a.m.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"kf\">\n<div class=\"kfn\">05<\/div>\n<h3>The 2007 Minot to Barksdale nuclear weapons flight<\/h3>\n<p>On 30 August 2007 a 2nd Bomb Wing B-52H flew from Minot Air Force Base to Barksdale carrying six cruise missiles that, contrary to every procedure, still held live nuclear warheads. Nobody in the loading, flight or receiving chain knew. The affair triggered six investigations, the sacking of commanders at both bases and, ultimately, the creation of Air Force Global Strike Command.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"kff\">The aircraft sat on the Barksdale ramp for roughly nine hours before the live warheads were discovered.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"kf\">\n<div class=\"kfn\">06<\/div>\n<h3>A 22,000-acre installation in north-west Louisiana<\/h3>\n<p>Barksdale occupies some 22,000 acres of former cotton land east of Shreveport, with 1,144 buildings and a plant replacement value of close to four billion dollars.

The Navy owns the first. The other two belong to Air Force Global Strike Command, and Global Strike Command is headquartered at Barksdale. That single organisational fact explains why a base surrounded by Louisiana pine carries a weight out of all proportion to its acreage.<\/p>\n<p>AFGSC was activated on 7 August 2009 and accounts for more than 33,700 airmen and civilians across twelve active-duty, Air National Guard and Reserve wings. It keeps 400 Minuteman III missiles on continuous alert, a posture held since 1959 and due to pass to the LGM-35A Sentinel. It owns the B-52, the B-1B and the B-2, and it will own the B-21 Raider. The command splits between two numbered air forces: Twentieth, in Wyoming, holds the missiles; Eighth, at Barksdale, holds the bombers.<\/p>\n<p>Eighth Air Force has the deeper name. Activated as VIII Bomber Command on 1 February 1942 at Langley Field, it flew its first bombardment mission that 4 July and grew past 200,000 people, able to put more than 2,000 four-engine bombers and over 1,000 fighters in a single day. The cost was brutal: nearly half of all Army Air Force casualties fell within Eighth Air Force, along with a third of all aircraft lost. Assigned to Global Strike Command in 2010, the Mighty Eighth today commands every operational heavy bomber wing in the Air Force, and since 24 August 2018 has housed the Joint Global Strike Operations Center, the warfighting air component to United States Strategic Command.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"ddet\">\n<summary><span class=\"dn\">02<\/span><span>The 2nd Bomb Wing has been in the bombing business longer than any other wing in the Air Force<\/span><span class=\"dx\">Read<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"dbody\">\n<p>The wing that flies from Barksdale was organised as the 1st Day Bombardment Group in France on 10 September 1918, the first Army Air Service formation dedicated to aerial bombardment. Reconstituted as the 2nd Bomb Group at Kelly Field, Texas in 1921, it flew in Billy Mitchell&rsquo;s demonstrations that year, when bombers sank the surrendered German battleship Ostfriesland. In 1937 it took delivery of the first B-17 Flying Fortress issued to the Army Air Corps.<\/p>\n<p>In the Second World War the group flew 412 combat missions and dropped 27,797.03 tons of bombs, earning two Distinguished Unit Citations. It arrived at Barksdale on 1 April 1963 and converted to the B-52 and the KC-135. It is today the largest bomb wing in Air Force Global Strike Command, under the motto Libertatem Defendimus &mdash; Liberty We Defend.<\/p>\n<p>The modern wing flies three B-52H squadrons: the 11th, the formal training unit for the type, with the 20th and 96th as operational squadrons. Four groups support them, and the enterprise runs to nearly 9,000 active-duty, Reserve and civilian personnel plus about 6,000 dependents. In normal times it reports through Eighth Air Force to Global Strike Command; activated for its nuclear mission, it reports directly to United States Strategic Command. The Reserve&rsquo;s 307th Bomb Wing shares the ramp, the only bomber wing in Reserve Command, and its 343rd Bomb Squadron is the sole nuclear-certified bomb squadron in the Reserve. Twenty of Barksdale&rsquo;s B-52Hs are associated with the 307th &mdash; the same aeroplanes, two chains of command, one crew force.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"ddet\">\n<summary><span class=\"dn\">03<\/span><span>The B-52H at Barksdale is older than most of its crews&rsquo; parents, and the Air Force intends to fly it past 2050<\/span><span class=\"dx\">Read<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"dbody\">\n<p>The B-52A first flew in 1954 and the B model entered service in 1955. Seven hundred and forty-four B-52s were built, and the last of them, a B-52H, was handed over in October 1962. Every B-52 flying today is that final H model. A pilot commissioned in the 2020s climbs into an airframe delivered before their grandparents met, and the crew-room joke about flying your grandfather&rsquo;s bomber is only a joke because it happens to be literally true.<\/p>\n<p>The aircraft remains formidable rather than merely venerable. Eight Pratt &amp; Whitney TF33 turbofans of up to 17,000 pounds thrust each push it to about 650 miles per hour, Mach 0.84, and an unrefuelled combat range above 8,800 miles. It carries some 70,000 pounds of mixed ordnance, flown by a crew of five.<\/p>\n<p>The TF33 is the weak link, and the Commercial Engine Replacement Program is the answer. Rolls-Royce F130 engines will replace them, eight per aircraft, and the result is redesignated the B-52J. The programme passed its critical design review in May 2026; two aircraft are to be modified at Boeing&rsquo;s San Antonio facility, the first arriving later in 2026, with flight testing at Edwards to follow. The object is to keep the Stratofortress operational through 2050 and beyond. Meanwhile Barksdale flies the old one hard: training days of twelve to fifteen hours, deployments to north-west Europe, Korea and the Southern Command region, and a commander, Col. Michael D. Maginness, who says there are more requests for B-52 airpower than the force can service.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"ddet\">\n<summary><span class=\"dn\">04<\/span><span>Air Force One came down at Barksdale on 11 September 2001, and the President recorded his statement there<\/span><span class=\"dx\">Read<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"dbody\">\n<p>The 9\/11 Commission set out the sequence. Air Force One lifted off from Sarasota, Florida at 9:55 a.m., the Secret Service and the President&rsquo;s advisers arguing against a return to Washington while the scale of the attack was still unknown. The aircraft climbed and, for a time, had no destination. The President&rsquo;s military aide, an Air Force officer, researched the options and at around 10:20 identified Barksdale as a suitable interim stop &mdash; a nuclear-alert bomber base with a long runway, heavy security and communications built for exactly the kind of day it was about to have.<\/p>\n<p>Air Force One landed at about 11:45. Personnel from the local Secret Service office, the Commission noted, were still on their way to the airfield. The President recorded a statement at the base which, the Commission records, was taped rather than broadcast live for security reasons. The text released by the White House that day reassured Americans that the full resources of the federal government were at work, and closed with the line that became the first draft of a doctrine.<\/p>\n<p>The aircraft did not stay. Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska was chosen next, the Commission explains, for its elaborate command and control facilities and because it could lodge fifty people overnight; the party arrived at 2:50 p.m. Barksdale had been an improvised waypoint for roughly three hours. The wooden lectern the President stood behind is now an exhibit in the Barksdale Global Power Museum, where visitors walk up and photograph it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"ddet\">\n<summary><span class=\"dn\">05<\/span><span>The 2007 Minot to Barksdale flight was the worst nuclear custody failure in modern Air Force history<\/span><span class=\"dx\">Read<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"dbody\">\n<p>On 29 August 2007, at Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota, munitions personnel prepared pylons of AGM-129 Advanced Cruise Missiles for a ferry flight to Barksdale, where the weapons were to be retired. Twelve missiles were loaded onto a B-52H. Six of them still carried live nuclear warheads. On 30 August the bomber flew to Louisiana, and it sat on the Barksdale ramp for about nine hours before a munitions airman performing a safe status check shone a torch through a small window in a warhead casing, expecting an inert training unit, and found a live one.<\/p>\n<p>A six-week investigation, presented by Maj. Gen. Richard Y. Newton III, found not sabotage but a chain of procedural breakdowns: storage personnel who did not examine all the pylons, a trailer crew that began hookup before inspections were complete, a missed database verification, and a radar navigator who spot-checked rather than completing the checklist. Had that checklist been worked through, Newton observed, the six warheads would have been found. The Air Force judged the event isolated. The deeper finding was cultural: nuclear skills atrophied by fifteen years of conventional war.<\/p>\n<p>The consequences were unprecedented. In October 2007 the Minot wing commander, the Minot maintenance group commander and the Barksdale operations group commander were relieved, the 5th Bomb Wing was decertified and tactical ferry operations suspended. In June 2008, after a separate mis-shipment of missile components to Taiwan, Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates requested the resignations of Air Force Secretary Michael W. Wynne and Chief of Staff Gen. T. Michael Moseley, saying a lax culture had grown around the nuclear mission. The most durable consequence was the decision to pull bombers and missiles back under one nuclear-focused command &mdash; Air Force Global Strike Command, activated at Barksdale in August 2009.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"ddet\">\n<summary><span class=\"dn\">06<\/span><span>Global Power missions, bomber task forces, and the Louisiana base that launches them<\/span><span class=\"dx\">Read<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"dbody\">\n<p>Barksdale trades in distance. On 16 January 1991 seven B-52Gs of the 596th Bomb Squadron took off from the base, flew to the Gulf and back without landing, and launched 35 conventional air-launched cruise missiles at Iraqi power and communications nodes &mdash; the first combat use of the AGM-86C and, the crews were told, the first time GPS had guided a missile to a target. The mission ran 35 hours and 24 minutes over more than 14,000 miles, the longest combat sortie in aviation history at the time. Officially Senior Surprise, the crews called it Secret Squirrel.<\/p>\n<p>On 1 August 1994 two B-52s named Lucky Lady IV and Laissez le Bon Temps Roulez flew a 47-hour non-stop circumnavigation of the globe, dropping bombs en route. On 2 and 3 September 1996 two B-52Hs struck Baghdad power and communications targets with thirteen cruise missiles on a 34-hour, 16,000-statute-mile round trip from Barksdale, which the Air Force records as the longest distance then flown for a combat mission. The modern equivalent is the Bomber Task Force, short-notice rotations that replaced the fixed presence model of 2004 onwards.<\/p>\n<p>The base behind all this covers some 22,000 acres on the eastern edge of Bossier City, with 1,144 buildings and 47 B-52s on the ramp. In fiscal 2024 it counted 5,133 active-duty members, 1,342 reservists, 2,608 civilians and 7,116 dependents &mdash; 16,199 people in all &mdash; and reported an economic impact just over 1.1 billion dollars. Its public face is the free Defenders of Liberty Air Show; behind the flight line sits the Barksdale Global Power Museum, seventeen aircraft in the air park running from a B-24 Liberator to an SR-71 Blackbird.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section id=\"timeline\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">Timeline<\/div>\n<h2>Barksdale Air Force Base, year by year<\/h2>\n<div class=\"tl\">\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1918<\/div>\n<p>The 1st Day Bombardment Group, ancestor of the 2nd Bomb Wing, is organised in France on 10 September as the first Army Air Service unit dedicated to aerial bombardment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1933<\/div>\n<p>Barksdale Field is dedicated on 2 February on some 22,000 acres of former cotton land in Bossier Parish, named for 2nd Lt Eugene Hoy Barksdale.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1937<\/div>\n<p>The 2nd Bomb Group receives the first B-17 Flying Fortress delivered to the Army Air Corps.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1940<\/div>\n<p>From November the field becomes an Air Corps flying school, training replacement crews and whole units for the war in Europe and the Pacific.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1942<\/div>\n<p>VIII Bomber Command, the future Eighth Air Force, is activated on 1 February at Langley Field, Virginia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1948<\/div>\n<p>Barksdale Field becomes Barksdale Air Force Base.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1962<\/div>\n<p>The last B-52 of 744 built, a B-52H, is delivered in October; every Stratofortress flying today is an H model from this era.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1963<\/div>\n<p>The 2nd Bomb Wing moves to Barksdale on 1 April and converts to the B-52 and KC-135.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1991<\/div>\n<p>Seven B-52Gs launch from Barksdale on 16 January and fire 35 conventional cruise missiles at Iraq on a 35-hour, 14,000-mile mission &mdash; Senior Surprise, known to the crews as Secret Squirrel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1994<\/div>\n<p>Global Power 94-7 sends two B-52s around the world non-stop in 47 hours on 1 August, dropping bombs en route.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1996<\/div>\n<p>Two B-52Hs strike Baghdad power and communications targets on 2 and 3 September after a 34-hour, 16,000-mile round trip from Barksdale, the longest distance then flown for a combat mission.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2001<\/div>\n<p>Air Force One diverts to Barksdale on 11 September, landing at about 11:45 a.m.; the President records a statement there before flying on to Offutt.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2003<\/div>\n<p>B-52s launch about 100 conventional air-launched cruise missiles in a single night mission on 21 March during Operation Iraqi Freedom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2007<\/div>\n<p>On 30 August a B-52H flies from Minot to Barksdale with six live nuclear warheads aboard, unnoticed for roughly nine hours after landing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2008<\/div>\n<p>A deployed 2nd Bomb Wing B-52H, call sign Raider 21, crashes off Guam on 21 July, killing all six aboard.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2009<\/div>\n<p>Air Force Global Strike Command is activated at Barksdale on 7 August, reuniting the bombers and the missiles under one nuclear-focused command.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2018<\/div>\n<p>The Joint Global Strike Operations Center is activated under Eighth Air Force at Barksdale on 24 August.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2026<\/div>\n<p>The B-52 Commercial Engine Replacement Program passes its critical design review in May, clearing the way for the F130-powered B-52J.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section id=\"gallery\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">In pictures<\/div>\n<h2>Barksdale Air Force Base, photographed<\/h2>\n<div class=\"galgrid\">\n<figure class=\"wide\"><span class=\"gim ph2\"><\/span><figcaption><b>Deployed east<\/b>A Barksdale B-52H lands at Andersen, Guam.

Eighth Air Force, also at Barksdale, commands every operational heavy bomber wing in the Air Force.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How old are the B-52s flying from Barksdale?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">Every B-52 in service is a B-52H, and the last of the 744 aircraft built was delivered in October 1962. That makes the airframes older than most of the crews&rsquo; parents. The Air Force expects to keep flying them past 2050, which would give the type a service life approaching a century.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What is the re-engining programme and what will the aircraft be called?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">The Commercial Engine Replacement Program will swap the 1960s-vintage Pratt &amp; Whitney TF33 turbofans for Rolls-Royce F130 engines, eight per aircraft, along with modern generators and a much larger electrical margin. The re-engined bomber is designated the B-52J. The programme passed its critical design review in May 2026, with the first two aircraft to be modified at Boeing&rsquo;s San Antonio facility and tested at Edwards Air Force Base.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What happened when Air Force One landed at Barksdale on 11 September 2001?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">The aircraft had left Sarasota at 9:55 a.m. with no destination; the President&rsquo;s military aide identified Barksdale at around 10:20, and it landed at about 11:45 a.m. The President recorded a short statement to the nation which was taped rather than broadcast live for security reasons. The party flew on to Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska, arriving at 2:50 p.m. The lectern he used is now on display in the Barksdale Global Power Museum.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What was the 2007 Minot to Barksdale nuclear weapons incident?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">On 30 August 2007 a B-52H flew from Minot Air Force Base to Barksdale with twelve AGM-129 cruise missiles aboard, six of which still carried live nuclear warheads that nobody had noticed. The aircraft sat on the Barksdale ramp for around nine hours before a munitions airman discovered the error during a routine safe status check. A six-week investigation blamed a chain of procedural breakdowns and human errors, several commanders were relieved, and the affair eventually led to the creation of Air Force Global Strike Command.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How big is Barksdale, and how many people work there?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">The installation covers some 22,000 acres with 1,144 buildings and a plant replacement value of about 3.95 billion dollars. In fiscal year 2024 it counted 5,133 active-duty members, 1,342 reservists and 2,608 civilians, plus 7,116 dependents &mdash; 16,199 people in total. It reported an economic impact of just over 1.1 billion dollars and hosts 47 B-52 bombers.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Who was Barksdale named after, and when did the base open?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">Barksdale Field was dedicated on 2 February 1933 and named for 2nd Lt Eugene Hoy Barksdale. It was built on roughly 22,000 acres of former cotton land in Bossier Parish, Louisiana. It was redesignated Barksdale Air Force Base in 1948.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Can the public visit Barksdale?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">Yes, in two ways. The Barksdale Global Power Museum is free to enter, open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., and displays seventeen aircraft in its air park ranging from a Second World War B-24 Liberator to an SR-71 Blackbird; visitors aged 18 and over need valid photographic identification. The base also hosts the Defenders of Liberty Air Show, with free admission and parking; the 2025 edition ran on 29 and 30 March and featured the Thunderbirds and a bomber heritage flight.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Is Barksdale Air Force Base still an active military air base?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">Yes.
