From 1957 the USAF bought 160 Cessna 310s as light administrative liaison, cargo and utility transports under the original designation L-27A, later changed to U-3A. 35 more were delivered in 1960-1961 as U-3Bs with upgraded specification. This one was decommissioned in 1972 and arrived at the AMC Museum in 2.09

The Voodoo became the principle aircraft of the 98th FIS stationed at Dover AFB in from mid-1950s to the mid-1960s. Their job was to defend Washington DC and the Eastern US during the Cold War period. This example has been smartly restored to represent one of them, although in fact its actual service history was with the 49th FIS (Griffiss AFB, NY), 60th FIS (Otis AFB, MA) and 107th TFG NY ANG (Niagara Falls)

Looking superb, this VC-9 is a recent addition to the AMC Museum, being retired to Dover in Aug 2011. Operated by 89th MAW out of Andrews AFB, MD (and Scott AFB, IL after 2005) as Air Force Two and occasionally Air Force One, carrying many of the American presidents since 1975

This rescue helicopter was formerly displayed at Travis AFB, CA. The Huskie was notable for its intermeshing wooden rotors and was extensively used in Vietnam for recovery missions, and later for airbase fire-crash duties, known by the callsign "Pedro". Around 250 were built of which about a dozen have been preserved

The very first Starlifter to be built, making her maiden flight on 17.12.63, the 60th Anniversary of the Wright Brothers first flight. Spent entire career as a test aircraft with AFSC at Wright-Patterson in numerous programs, the last being to test a new tension rope for NASA towing a QF-106 in the air. One of four early C-141A's not converted to C-141B standard, all 270 in the main fleet undergoing the stretch. Joined C-141B 64-0626, parked alongside in 'lizard' camouflage

Looks good but a false identity - never served with the USAF, being in fact originally RCAF C-119F 22118, assigned in 1953 to 436 Sqdn at Dorval. In 1956 during the Suez crisis used on UN shuttles between Italy and Egypt. Had enlarged radar nose fitted in 1957 and based to Downsview. Struck off RCAF charge 1965 but from 1969 operated as firebomber by Hawkins & Powers as N3559. Upgraded to Steward-Davis Jet-Pak spec in 1972 with J34 engine above fuselage and flown to Dover for preservation 10.91

Crashed short of the runway at Dover AFB after taking off and experiencing an engine malfunction. Luckily there was no fire and, although a number of the crew were injured, there were no fatalities. The aircraft was scrapped not too long after this photo was taken.

This C-141A is the very first ever built with its maiden flight taking place on December 17, 1963. It spent its entire career as a test aircraft and was added to the Air Mobility Command Museum's collection in February 1998. It is one of four C-141's that weren't modified to a B model by the addition of a 24 foot fuselage plug and air refueling capability.
