| Robert Hand Houston, Texas |  I had the honor of building this Linear Air Park back in 1988/1989. We poured 11 cement trucks worth of concrete a day for months to erect the walkway and plane foundations. We had to start pouring concrete at 2 am to avoid the heat drying to fast and making the concrete brittle. The few people I remember in this construction are SGT Usher and SGT Bebe. Several other of whom's name I sadly have forgot over the long years. It was a great project and made everyone involved proud. I'd love yo go back someday and see it again.

| Ray Glezman , Massachusetts |  The T-33 on display at Dyess, S/N 51-4300, was assigned to the 3560th Pilot Training Wing at Webb A.F.B. in Big Spring Tx, in the late 50's. It should have been put on display during the 50's because that bird hardly ever flew. It was constantly being worked on. 08/09/2010 @ 17:38 [ref: 10397] |

| levi clyde, Texas | I worked on dyess afb for four and a half yrs at the burger king. I know that every year either in may or june they have Dyess Apreciation Day and during that day the linear air park is open to the public. They also have great demostration teams including the Thunderbirds coming regularly if you have any questions email me and i can do my best to get you the number to the human resources office they can be able to direct you to the right people who would know the exact date for the Dyess Appreciation day. 01/14/2009 @ 03:09 [ref: 8620] |

| Tim Austin, Texas |  After 9/11, the security at Dyess was stepped up, the gates were moved out, and the static displays became off limits to non-military personnel. It's a real shame, because this is a truly fantastic display of military aviation history. I went there often before the security changes, and never tired of walking around the examples. You can still watch the C-130s and B-1s operate out of Dyess, but the static displays are unavailable, at least for now. I think group tours may be available, but individual tours are not allowed. 07/19/2007 @ 21:54 [ref: 6119] |
| dave , New York | what a disappointment!!! I recently visited Abilene, hoping to see the air park displays. there was a full page ad in the phone book about it, but no mention it was closed to the public. the rude females at the base entrance said I had to be in the military to see it. I said I could see part of it from the street. all she said to me was "yep". then she ignored me completely. 07/03/2007 @ 22:43 [ref: 6036] |
| Roger Botting Atlanta, Georgia |  The park is closed to visitors, looks to be a great collection, perhaps the base will make it avalable to the public again soon. 02/14/2007 @ 17:32 [ref: 5618] |
