March 13, 2013 We were a little scared this would happen so we weren't surprised when we received the following email this morning from the Public Affairs Office at Barksdale Air Force Base.
It's US Air Force Day! Kiss Country is full of military families and Air Force members, so let's speak up and share our gratitude! Thank you! Thank you for everything you do! And enjoy this fun song and dance video courtesy of the US Air Force.
We want to thank everyone who has served our great country! We appreciate the sacrifices made by service personnel and their families. Tell us about your service member. Send in your story and a photo and we will share it with all of Kiss Country.
Barksdale Air Force Base unleashed the Thunderbirds in what is being called the largest air show in the South Central United States.
This weekend is packed full of fun times in Kiss Country! From Holiday In Dixie to the Barksdale Airforce Base Airshow we have all the weekend event details right here for you!
May 3, 2011 The Barksdale "Defenders of Liberty" Air Show is this weekend at Barksdale Air Force Base. I never miss it...and watching the pilots maneuver aircraft costing more than I'll make in my lifetime through flames, obstacles and other expensive aircraft, one gets the idea that "its easy." Nothing could be further from the truth!
From the Civil War, to the Louisiana Hayride, to the landing of Air Force One here in the hours after the 9-11 tragedy, Shreveport has seen it's share of historical events. And actually, it was a discussion of a notable Hayride moment involving a skinny kid from Tupelo, Mississippi, that brought about this post. If a stranger came to town, and wanted to know what there was to see in Shreveport, what would you tell him? Where would you send him/her to give them an idea of what Shreveport was about?
