Barksdale becomes safe haven for evacuated Airmen, aircraft
An F-15E Strike Eagle from Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, N.C., rests on the flightline at Barksdale Air Force Base, La., Oct. 7, 2016. The Strike Eagle is a dual-role fighter designed to perform air-to-air and air-to-ground missions. An array of avionics and electronics systems gives the F-15 the capability to fight at low altitude, day or night, and in all weather. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Curt Beach)
