Barksdale Air Force Base's public affairs office confirmed to The War Zone on Friday that an accident occurred at the northwest Louisiana base, home to the 2nd Bomb Wing and the Air Force Reserve's 343rd Bomb Wing.
Images of the incident were first uploaded to Facebook by "Air Force amn/nco/snco".
"While positioning the aircraft for static display on the site, the aircraft collided with the fence directly in front of the [maintenance group] building", read the redacted Maintenance Operations Centre (MOC) Notification Worksheet.
"All pieces were recovered from the fence and the aircraft and there is significant damage to the right wing tip and the leading edge wing outboard of the right external tank", the memo detailed.
No injuries were reported, and no further details on the extent of the damage were provided.
