Cold War Relics
Special | 6m 16s
Relics of the Cold War are on display at the former Plattsburgh Air Force Base.
For 50 years, the base was home to a wide variety of the country’s flying military arsenal from the KC-135 Stratotanker to the B-52. Today all that remains from that era are an FB-111 fighter jet and B-47 bomber, that serve as a reminder of the days when Plattsburgh was one of the nation’s top Strategic Air Command bases.
