During my recent trip back east, my Dad and I stopped at this museum which is located at Dover AFB, Dover, Delaware.  It had been about 12 years since my last visit and they have added a lot of aircraft but also lost a few (P-51 in Tuskegee markings and a D-21 drone where what I noticed).

During the visit there were a C-5 and C-17 shooting touch n goes so there are a few pics of them.  Also there is a C-130 from Saudi Arabia with a different paint scheme.  A couple days earlier, I saw one in their standard desert camo but didn't have the camera with me.  The volunteer at the museum said they come in pretty frequently and usually have a semi full of stuff drive up and offload before they fly home.

They also have a nice collection of Nose Art pictures that were painted by Don Allen that he reproduced 50+ years after painting the originals on aircraft of the 4th Fighter Group.

Love that '72 Ford LTD staff car!  We had a Country Squire wagon (same year) with fake wood paneling (and 2.5 children, a dog, a house in the suburbs, and a pop-up camper).

The Saudi C-130 is from Saudi Arabian Airlines, or the Saudi Royal Flight. They both operate C-130s in those colours
