Perfect for a 2-3 hour trip. Indoor displays are educational, but the outdoor aircraft are awesome--several that are not found elsewhere such as the British Vulcan. Several WWII and Cold War bombers too. Nice gift shop with good prices.

My sister recently visited with her two very active boys. They loved looking at the huge plays lined up with information below each one for us to read to them.

Wander through the planes, historical photos and mementos of Barksdale's past.

Neat, some stuff a little boring for a person without an interest in aviation history. However, it gives you chills reading the correspondense with the family of a soldier MIA. Also felt a great since of honor in visiting such a historical place. Loved looking at old planes on grounds as well!

8th Air Force Museum, Bossier City, Louisiana.
Make sure you head for the North Gate of Barksdale Air Force Base to get access to the museum. Entrance free of charge. A small but interesting indoor exhibition with souvenir shop (not open despite visiting on a Saturday). A large outside display of WW2 to Cold war aircraft. Choose a warm day...

It's a great place to take your grandchildren not only for the items in the building but for all the historic aircraft displayed. It's a very nice walk during the spring, early summer and fall. One of the few places you can see an SR-71 on display.

On top of all that it's free

I thought it was tired but the message and the history was still not to be argued with and it is a worthy stop if you are in the area. Allow time to walk out to the static displays, they are well worth seeing. The building is musty and if you have respiratory issues you may want to stay away...

I am not a museum person but I thought my husband would enjoy it. I enjoyed seeing all the exhibits and the ariplanes that were on display outside were very cool. Kids would love the airplanes outside!
