1301 Heritage Dr Dover AFB, DE , 19902 Phone: (302) 677-5939 Website Where do old airplanes go? The lucky ones go to the Air Mobility Command Museum—the only museum dedicated to airlift and air refueling history!
The mission of the Air Mobility Command Museum is to tell the story of moving all that stuff around. The facility is a behind-the-scenes place, where the display mannequins carry clipboards and monkey wrenches, not rifles. But don't be fooled -- these air truckers get shot at just like any other soldier.
The museum occupies a corner of sprawling Dover Air Force Base. It includes one hangar, dating to World War II, and an air park outside to display all of the planes that can't fit inside the hanger. That's most of them, since the aircraft are cargo ships of considerable size. The names say it all: Stratofreighter, Cargomaster, Flying Boxcar, and two huge Starlifters in which visitors are sometimes invited to sit in the pilot seats.
The machine is just inside the main entrance, across the hall from the gift store. All have A.M.C. Museum' on them. Designs are:
1) Logo wings,
2) C-5,
3) C-47,
4) F-106.
