Where Do Old Airplanes Go? - Air Mobility Command Museum - Dover, DE

The museum showcases over 30 aircraft varying in sizes. You will see cargo haulers, fighters, helicopters, a bomber and Air Force II. There are many exhibits both inside the hanger and outside in the yard. Depending on the day and staffing, you can access some of the aircraft in the yard. You are even able to climb the tower for a bird’s eye view.

Here is what caught my eye; I hope you enjoy!
