The Barksdale Defenders of Liberty Air Show is an impressive event organized by the 2nd Bomb Wing at Barksdale Air Force Base, showcasing a mix of modern and historic military and civilian aircraft. First held in 1933, this weekend-long spectacle enhances public awareness of U.S. Air Force capabilities and celebrates Louisiana's significance as the home of the B-52 bomber.

In addition to thrilling aerial performances, the air show serves to honor service members and supports the recruiting efforts of the United States Armed Forces. With the backing of the Shreveport-Bossier Military Affairs Council, the event draws over 200,000 visitors, making it a highlight on the local community calendar.
