Welcome to the new Lincoln Air Force Base Online Museum Constructed in the 1950s and operating at the height of the Cold War was Lincoln Air Force Base, a 100 bomber Strategic Air Command base charged with defense through nuclear deterrence. During 1962, Lincoln bombers and its Atlas-F missiles stood at the ready with the advent of the Cuban Missile Crisis. In 1966 the base closed without firing a shot in anger and later became Lincoln's Air Park and Arnold Heights neighborhood Our Mission Statement:
Primary Role:
To
preserve the history of the former Lincoln Air Force Base located in
Lincoln, Nebraska, U.S.A. from 1954 to 1966 along with its veterans and
workers through research, documentation and education.
Secondary Role:
To
preserve the history of the former Lincoln Army Air Field, the 6th
Missile Battalion/43rd Artillery U.S. Army, the Nebraska Air National
Guard and the overall Cold War history of the Lincoln, Nebraska area. With the retirement of the "A History of the Former Lincoln Air Force Base" website, we're currently in the process of constructing a new, better site dedicated to the veterans and civilians alike who served at the former
Lincoln Air Force Base.
