With the restoration of the first airplane a B-17G “named Shoo Shoo Baby” in 1978 the idea of creating a new museum was born. With the restoration of the second plane a C-47 ° in 1986 preparations began for the official creation of the Museum. Only in 1995 the Dover AFB Historical Center was recognized by the US Air Force and moved in February 1997 to its current location with the new name of Air Mobility Command Museum. Located within the airport perimeter of the Dover Base, it occupies about 100,000 square meters of outdoor exhibition area and more than 1300 square meters of exhibition halls.

In the immense square it is possible to admire and visit the interiors of almost all aircraft with special ramps. We wanted to pay special attention to the KC-97“STRATOFREIGHTER”Of the 888 aircraft built, only one is able to fly today. This is the C-97G “Angel of deliverance” which returned to flight on 7 November 2017 and is owned by the “Berlin Airlift Historical Foundation”. Another 22 aircraft are on display in various American museums, and only two exhibited outside national borders. A museum that wants to transmit to the new generations the history of all those men and women who in their time of peace and war have dedicated their lives and their great dedication so that today we can all live in a better way.
