Planes sit under coverings on the tarmac of Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Goldsboro, North Carolina. The base was established in June 1942 and served as a training facility throughout World War II before it was deactivated in May 1946. Since reopening as a Tactical Air Command Base in 1956, it has been home to B-52 bombers, KC-10 and KC-135 tankers, and F-4 and F-16 fighters.
