EXCITING NEWS!
The AMC Museum now has a Fairchild A-10 aircraft on full public display. Affectionately known as the “Warthog,” the A-10 Thunderbolt II first flew in 1972 and was introduced to the USAF in 1977. Aircraft 79-0088 was assigned to the 175th Wing of the Maryland Air National Guard and served over 45 years with the USAF. It is the first Air Force aircraft specifically designed for close air support of ground forces. The A-10 is one of the most recognizable aircraft ever designed with its rear-mounted twin engines, twin vertical stabilizers and its lethal 30mm GAU-8/A Avenger Gatling autocannon that can fire at a rate of 3,900 rounds a minute. The A-10 can be used against an array of ground targets, including tanks and armored vehicles.
The museum will be having a ‘Grand Opening’ this spring along with a ‘Hangar Talk’ highlighting its long and prestigious history. Come out to see the A-10 displayed next to the AMC Museum KC-10!
The AMC Museum is located just south of Dover Air Force Base, off DE Rt 9.
We are open to the public Wed – Sun from 9-4 and we are completely free to enjoy.

NEW ARRIVAL! The museum has received a Fairchild A-10C Thunderbolt II “Warthog”. The aircraft is currently not on museum grounds but in coming months, the museum team will be working hard to prepare the aircraft for relocation into the museum display area. The A-10 is a remarkable aircraft that represents over 45 years of precision lethality in service with the United States Air Force.
WHY AN A-10 AT THE AMC MUSEUM?
The A-10 allows the museum to expand the public’s knowledge of the impact of air refueling as a force multiplier, greatly enhancing the endurance, range and flexibility of US and allied combat aircraft. It will also provide a valuable perspective of the support the Air Mobility Command (AMC) air refuelers provide each day to the warfighter, highlighting the history of airlift and air refueling of the United States Air Force and the mission of the AMC.
