KB-50J Superfortress and F-16 Fighting Falcon moving from MacDill Air Force Base.
Take note of this. This is the future of static display aircraft scattered across Air Force Bases that can no longer maintain them. At least these are going to be saved. Others may not be so lucky.

(yes that is why i didn't highlight the rest of that sentence, folks out there are doing a fantastic job trying to keep one step ahead of time and the weather with little or no money. i didn't want anyone to think i was disparaging anyone and all of their efforts in any way)

Which B-24?

Barksdale?

I believe it's the only Liberator owned by the USAF not under cover.

A fiberglass replica would suffice, the one at Lackland is very nice.
