Anyone know if this museum is still open? Their website disappeared a few months ago and I thought maybe they closed up shop.

That's the Barksdale AFB one? One of my cousins flies in and out of there, I'll drop him an email and find out.

All the planes are still there and available for parusing. I'm not sure about the museum building though. I haven't heard anything about a closing from anyone on base.

I was just there a month or so ago. I know the curator and several staff members and I'm sure I would have heard if they were closing. I bet it's just thier website is down.

I have not heard back from my cousin there, they also had not heard of it closing, but that it was not on a road they normally drive, but they would get back to me..we shall see.
