This is a great little museum. You can actually go on the planes outside. The staff is full of knowledge and appreciate the interest. More

The museum focus is on transport aircraft a few I flew on and others I saw while I served from 1966 to 1970. Several of the planes were open. The C141 had examples of 3 configurations. Air Evac, Troop Carrier and Cargo. The displays in the hanger were very nicely done and informative. Really like the Berlin Air liff and... More

This museum is well worth the visit for aviation enthusiasts. The museum covers the range of aircraft that have operated from Dover with emphasis on transport aircraft (not surprisingly). The museum often open up some aircraft for inspection. As part of the USAF museum network, a few aircraft are unique to the museum. A highlight is the B-17 display, one... More

This is not your typical aircraft museum. First there are very interesting aircraft within the historic hanger - so bad weather is not an issue. Second , there are a lot of aircraft outside the hanger and you can go inside some of them. Third, the educational exhibits are very compelling and easy for non-pilot-types to understand. Fourth, there are... More

I just can't believe this great museum survives on donations, because this place is loaded with U.S Air Force mobility (transport) aircraft, that I doubt can be found easily in one place elsewhere. There is an extensive group of displays inside that are hosted by courteous outgoing volunteers, who truly care about sharing the history of this aviation command. Adults... More

My husband really wanted to stop here. This free, fairly small museum is worth visiting if you're in the neighborhood. You can learn quite a bit about the history of the planes especially the large transport planes associated with Dover Air Force Base. Not many of the planes were open for entering when we were there, but a volunteer was... More
