Air Mobility Command Museum

The Air Mobility Command Museum or AMC in Dover, Delaware showcases the history of airplanes and flights. The foundation just underwent a major renovation to add on to the store, add in more attractions, and provide better storage. The project will be ongoing through 2011; however, they are not expected to close nor will the exhibits be hindered in any way during the work.

The museum offers free admission and parking. They are open Tuesday through Sunday from 9am to 4pm. The museum is always closed on Mondays and major holidays. The Air Mobility Command Museum is set in a base unit used for World War II. The base was used for secret rocket development and called the Dover Army Airfield. Fighter squadrons had their home base in the hangars from the 1950s to the 1970s. In the 1990s the buildings were turned over to the public for the museum. It was also at this time the base was added into the National Register of Historic Places.

The Air Mobility Command Museum has the mission to provide history of flight and air force history to those who attend. Planes, equipment, and uniforms are some of the exhibits.
