Eighth Air Force Museum, Aviation museum at Barksdale Air Force Base, Bossier City, Louisiana.
The Barksdale Global Power Museum contains military aircraft, historical artifacts, and exhibits focusing on United States Air Force operations and strategic bombing campaigns.
Founded in 1979 through Harold D. Rigg's efforts, the museum started with a borrowed B-17 aircraft from the United States Air Force Museum collection.
The museum preserves military aviation heritage through its collection of bombers, including the Boeing B-29 Superfortress and educational programs about wartime experiences.
Located on an active military base, visitors need to present valid identification, vehicle registration, and insurance documentation at the main gate for entry.
The museum displays the podium used by President George W. Bush during his September 11, 2001 speech, marking a significant moment in American history.
