The show features static displays of various military aircraft including fighter jets, helicopters, tankers, cargo planes, and of course, the venerable Boeing B-52 Stratofortress bomber.
After being scrapped last year due to federal sequester cuts, the Barksdale Air Force Base Defenders of Liberty Air Show is back on for 2014. Air Show Director Warren Carroll tells KEEL News the favorites we saw in 2012 will be making appearances.
Thousands of people turned out for the Defenders of Liberty Air Show at Barksdale Air Force Base Saturday and Sunday. The feature act was the Air Force's elite Thunderbirds.
