Barksdale Airmen restore B-17G for 8th Air Force museum
Airmen, volunteers and contractors at Barksdale AFB are busy preserving, restoring and painting a B-17G Flying Fortress for the 8th Air Force Museum in honor of Maj. Gen. Lewis E. Lyle, a World War II B-17 pilot.
The aircraft being restored will be preserved to the best extent possible and replicated as the B-17G that General Lyle flew March 22, 1944, said Master Sgt. Keith Baron, the 8th AF museum restoration and maintenance superintendent.
