9:30 am - 2:00 pm

1. A DESTINATION DRIVE TO THE AIR MOBILITY COMMAND MUSEUM

2. LUNCH AT Mc GLYNNS PUB (5 star rating)

3. VISIT THE JOHNSON VICTROLA MUSEUM

The AIR MOBILITY COMMAND MUSEUM is housed in a historic WWII aircraft hanger south of Dover Air Force Base. Over 30 aircraft are on
display including air lifters, air re-fuelers, fighters and bombers. Lots of exhibits and artifacts indoors and out. Informative and friendly docents
for our group. Tour a C-5A, the 2nd largest airplane in the world. The museum rates 5 stars on Trip Advisor.

The scenic drive south to the museum would be on Highway 9. The faster drive south would be on Highway 1,  getting off at exit 91.  McGlynns Pub in Dover is a 15 minute drive from the museum and is in a very pretty setting
on Silver Lake. We will have a semi private room, ordering from their extensive lunch menu.

Finally, the bonus extra, a stop at the nearby Johnson Victrola Museum. E. R. Johnson, a Delaware native, founded the Victor Talking Machine Company, which later became RCA. This small but very interesting museum displays working early music players, many artifacts and some history of their trademark dog Nipper and their trademark logo “His Masters Voice”. This museum rates 5 stars on Trip Advisor.

Directions: The Air Mobility Command Museum is located at 1301 Heritage Road, Dover AFB, DE. It is south of the Air Force Base, off exit 91 on Highway 1. Plan on a 9:30 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. arrival, with group parking in the “overflow” lot on the right side of that lot.

Mc Glynns Pub is located at 800 North State Street in Dover, and is about a 15 minute drive from the Air Command Museum. Plan on arriving about 12:30 p.m., taking an immediate right turn for group parking after entering the restaurant property.

The Johnson Victrola Museum is located at 375 South New Street, just minutes away from the restaurant. Parking will be on the streets.
