Climb Aboard History at the Air Mobility Command Museum's 40th Anniversary Celebration

DOVER AIR FORCE BASE, Del. — The Air Mobility Command Museum will commemorate its 40th anniversary Sept. 26–27, 2026. The public is invited to celebrate this significant milestone as the museum honors its legacy, showcases the history of airlift and air refueling, and looks ahead to the future.

On Saturday, Sept. 26, festivities will include open cockpits, historical reenactors and encampments, a living history team, an A-10 dedication ceremony, hangar talks, and a dance reminiscent of the 1940s and 1950s. The museum will open its gates at 9 a.m., with activities beginning at 10 a.m.

On Sunday, Sept. 27, visitors can again enjoy open cockpits, historical reenactors and encampments, and a living history team. The museum gates will open at 9 a.m., with activities beginning at 10 a.m.

Guests will have the opportunity to explore the interiors of several historic aircraft, including the world's only C-5 Galaxy on public display, a C-47 that participated in D-Day operations, a C-54 that flew during the Berlin Airlift, the first KC-10 ever built, a C-133 loaded with unique historical vehicles, Air Force Two, and many other significant aircraft spanning from World War II to the present day.

Visitors can also get an up-close view of the museum's newest addition, the A-10 Warthog. Knowledgeable museum volunteers, many of whom have firsthand experience with these aircraft, will be available to share stories and insights about their history and operations.

In the event of inclement weather, outdoor aircraft will be closed. However, the C-47 located inside the hangar, the control tower, flight simulator and theater will remain open.

Food will be available for purchase from a local food truck throughout the weekend.

This Independence Day marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence—a bold assertion of liberty that has defined our nation for two and a half centuries. From the Revolutionary War’s fight for self-determination to today’s global challenges, America’s story is one of resilience, innovation, and service.
At the AMC Museum Foundation, we proudly help preserve and share the rich heritage of Air Mobility Command. The AMC Museum exhibits honor the courageous aircrews, maintainers, and support personnel who have enabled freedom’s flight—delivering troops and supplies in wartime, providing humanitarian aid in crises, and powering global reach for peace and security.
As we celebrate this milestone, we reflect on the generations who defended our ideals in the air, on the ground, and around the world. Their stories remind us that freedom requires vigilance, sacrifice, and unity.
We invite you to visit the AMC Museum to explore these inspiring tales of innovation and duty. Your support helps us educate future generations about the vital role of air mobility in preserving our way of life.
Wishing all a safe, joyful, and reflective 4th of July!
AMC Museum Foundation
Honoring the past. Inspiring the future.
