Painter Don Manning sprays another coat over an O-11B Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) truck as Ben Williford removes masking tape from the wheels of the vintage emergency vehicle at Barksdale Air Force Base, La., Feb. 16, 2011.

It was used under any climatic conditions for combating aircraft fires, providing fire protection services for unconventional fuel fires, aircraft maintenance and servicing operations, and support of the Air Force structural fire fighting units. The painting project is being undertaken by Affiliated Western in Fort Worth, Texas, and started in Sept 2010. Their work is scheduled to be completed next week. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt.

A Boeing B-52G "Stratofortress" sits on display at the 8th Air Force Museum on Barksdale Air Force Base, La., Feb. 16, 2011. Since becoming operational in 1955, the B-52 has been the main long-range heavy bomber of the Strategic Air Command. The B-52G was designed to reduce the overall aircraft weight in an effort to improve performance. The most obvious change was the redesigned tail. The tail gunner's position was moved from the tail turret to a remote firing station in the forward compartment. This particular B-52G flew 35 missions during Desert Storm, including the first three low level missions. It was retired from service in Nov. 1992 and was transferred to the 8th AF Museum.

A Boeing KC-97 G/L "Stratofreighter" sits on display as part of the 8th Air Force Museum at Barksdale Air Force Base, La., Feb. 16, 2011. The aircraft was manned by a crew of five and had a maximum speed of 400 mph, with a range of 2,300 miles. The first flight occurred on Nov. 15, 1944. A tanker version (KC-97) was introduced in 1950 using the "flying boom" refueling system.
