One of 31 aircraft on display at the Lackland parade field. For 43 years (since 1956) the museum had the real B-24M 43-51228 on display, the last B-24 on active service in the USAF, but in June 1999 it was traded with the American Air Museum and shipped to Duxford, UK. At Lackland the Liberator was replaced by this full-scale replica of B-24M 43-51228 "The Blasted Event". It carries no serial.
