Hate to say it, but perhaps you need to go for a third look :ok:

Fairly certain there's some that didn't serve with American Forces - and for the pedants, captured axis aircraft being assessed isn't the same as "serving".

That's sad new about Barksdale AFB museum if it comes true - the USAF must run the same beancounter course as us.

I was part of a team out there in 2000 and the museum had a cracking little education program going for local schools (which we got involved with using the Vulcan). At the time the aircraft was a bit sunbleached and shabby looking, but from this photo (from the 8th Air Force Museum website) they seem to have done a fair bit of work tiding it up. Here's hoping they survive the review.
