I think that there are some gate guards at the base in Battle Creek. I would like to see them.

I don't have anything in the Locator for Battle Creek, however, there are some listings for Des Moines...

There are no longer an gate guards at Battle Creek. I know they did have an F-86 and B-57 at different times,but they are no longer there. WACO Classic Aircraft might be worth checking out there though.

No warbirds here in Battle Creek that I'm aware of. But if you've got a little time (and access to a vehicle) the Kalamazoo Air Zoo is just 20 minutes up I-94..one of the best warbird collections in the midwest.

The last gate guard at the ANG base was an RB-57 onna stick..it was sent to the Yankee Air Museum in the early '90s.

I live right under the Battle Creek approach pattern..I'll keep an eye peeled for a Herky-Bird! 8)
