2 BW adds B-1B Lancer to museum static displays

Wed Mar 02, 2022 3:41 pm

Airmen from the 2nd Bomb Wing pose for a photo at Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana, Feb. 19, 2022, after relocating a retired B-1B Lancer to its new location. Approximately ten squadrons across the wing worked together to move the B-1 from the flightline to the Barksdale Global Power Museum.

Good to see another preserved.
A great, but largely unheralded, type.
I enjoyed working around them at Dyess for several years.

And neat Vulcan....

Nice, imagine we will be seeing a few more B-1's going to museums as the next few lots get retired. Looks like all of the bases closely associated with the the B-1 already have one, but I would think Pima, Palmdale (built there), Edwards and Castle (with an excellent bomber collection) would be naturals. Secondarily maybe Seattle, Grissom, USAF Academy, McClellan, March.

I wonder if they are leaving the engines in them?

The 2nd picture shows you the answer as there are no engines in place.
