Welcome

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 AMC Museum is one of the rare aviation museums that allows visitors an inside look at some of its aircraft. For visitor safety, the aircraft parked outside may be closed due to weather or tour guide availability. If aviation history is your thing, see several "First, Last or Only" aircraft from jet fighters to a WWII bomber complete with authentic nose art. Experience what it's like to fly a giant airplane—take a seat in one of our flight simulators. Junior aviators can "pilot" a mini-airplane to have their picture taken by mom and dad. It's all free from movies to guided tours.

The museum is located on Dover AFB in Dover, the capital of Delaware. Can't visit us anytime soon? Navigate through our website to enjoy our aircraft and exhibits.

Phase 1 of the museum's ramp expansion project began a few months ago. The progress of this phase, a 250' x 250' asphalted area, can be seen behind the C-124 and C-121. Eventually, larger aircraft, such as our inbound KC-135E, will be parked there.
