Delmarva Vipers is hosting another visit to the Dover Air Force Base
Mobile Air Command Museum on October 30th. Everyone is
welcome to attend!
The AMC Museum is located on the grounds at Dover AFB and
features retired examples of a range of transport aircraft from the
small U3 Blue Canoe up to the massive C141 Starlifters. While not as
flashy as the Bombers and Fighters featured at some bigger
museums, the planes here are much more massive and, unlike the
bigger museums, the staff here go out of their way to let you explore
the aircraft inside and out. On our last visit the curator was even kind
enough to open up the back lot and allow us to drive in and pose our
cars with the aircraft. It was an amazing experience.
We are looking to arrive around 10am and begin our tour by 11am.
There are no fees to attend or park and, because the museum is
relatively small, you can explore a good portion of it in under two
hours. Our photo session with the aircraft outside took a bit longer.
Afterwords we like to visit a restaurant right next to the Delaware
Capital building for a late lunch - it's good food by good people, and
out of the way with a nice large parking lot. We encourage you to
bring folding chairs and coolers as you will be standing on concrete
for several hours. The Delaware Cobra Club has also been invited.
Feel free to email me directly or post here with questions.
