Air Mobility Command Museum, 2007

[Razzor01]

Carrying on with my 2007 NE US trip I visited the Air Mobility Command museum on the edge of Dover AFB, Delaware.

You are greeted with this very well preserved T-33A, 52-9497 in MATS markings.

I still have the fridge magnet I purchased in the gift shop.

Once inside the museum there is much to see, but with the size of most aircraft operated by MAC / AMC they are quite tightly parked, which makes it a bit tricky for clean pictures.

Great museum to visit and I'm sure there have been many additions since my visit some 13 years ago.

Comments, corrections always welcome.

A great selection there, one day I might actually get to this place. Always liked seeing C-124s, thank you for putting these up.

Great post and museum, Stewart

Seeing a Voodoo takes me back to being a nipper, sitting on the south beach at Lowestoft watching them fly low over the sea on their way back to Bentwaters

Thanks for posting

Morning Patrick. Same for me when watching racing at Silverstone. Voodoos in and out of Upper Heyford. Lovely pictures of a golden age of aircraft. Saw a C.133 Cargomaster flying just once in England, but plenty of C124 Globemaster 2's.

Another first rate post with photos of many of my favorite MAC heavies including the Globie, KC-97L and the massive Cargomaster. Definitely whetting the appetite for another US road trip!

Very interesting. Love the KC-97 (probably because it takes me back to when I had a push along Stratocruiser toy as a kid).
Sadly never got to see a real one.

great pics, can remember the C-124`s and KC-97`s when I worked in the officers mess in the early 1960`s the B-47E`s were based there as well as the B-47`s on reflex.. was a sight worth seeing when they had an alert and the reflex B-47`s started up

Nice set of shots Stew and a great collection too. I was walking in your footsteps around this place exactly a year later (one of Clive's American Oddyseys), unfortunately when we arrived there was a car booty going on with all the stalls congregated around the exhibits, flogging crap! To make matters worse we'd just left the Andrews Open day early (because someone wanted a few f****** Galaxy numbers ). But an impressive museum nonetheless.
