Editing Offutt Air Force Base (section)

==Offutt in popular culture==
Offutt was brought to popular attention during its SAC period when the command was depicted in the 1955 film ''[[Strategic Air Command (film)|Strategic Air Command]]'' starring [[James Stewart|Jimmy Stewart]], the 1963 film ''[[A Gathering of Eagles]]'' starring [[Rock Hudson]], and 1964's ''[[Fail-Safe (1964 film)|Fail-Safe]]'' starring [[Henry Fonda]] (which not only claimed to show portions of the base but also a nearby Omaha neighborhood) and ''[[Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb]]'' starring [[Peter Sellers]] (which depicts a nuclear first strike from a mad general at the fictional Burpelson Air Force Base).

Offutt appeared in the ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]]'' episode "[[Tomorrow Is Yesterday]]" (identified as 'the Omaha installation'), when a fighter pilot stationed there detects the approaching USS ''[[USS Enterprise (NCC-1701)|Enterprise]]'' and is transported aboard.

The [[Dale Brown]] novel ''Plan of Attack'' saw nuclear missiles launched by Russian bombers attacking multiple bomber bases all over the U.S, including Offutt, which is destroyed by four [[Kh-15]] (AS-17 Kickback) missiles. Only one [[Boeing E-4]] NEACP escapes in time, and the officials of the Eighth Air Force and STRATCOM are eliminated in the process. [[Pat Frank]]'s iconic [[Cold War]] novel ''[[Alas, Babylon]]'' (1959) has Air Force Colonel Mark Bragg, the brother of the protagonist Randy Bragg, stationed at Offutt.

In the 1983 post apocalyptic feature film for television, "The Day After", Offutt is represented as a SAC Aircraft departs the field as the cameras then change focus to the countryside as the credits roll.

Offutt is also mentioned in Strike Three, a post-apocalyptic novel, by Joy V. Smith.
