Contacting Missileers

Museums that Deserve a Visit - A number of museums around the country display missiles and related items. Several of these museums have been awarded grants by our association. Some that you should see and access to each web site is below - click on the musuem name:

Strategic Air and Space Museum - The museum is located between Omaha and Lincoln on Interstate 80. An Atlas, Thor and Blue Scout are displayed in front of the buildings. Other missiles include Hound Dog, Quail, Snark and others in various stages of restoration. The move from the old location at Offutt was a giant undertaking, and all displays were previously outside, so the museum is restoring each aircraft and missile and placing most in the new building for display. Was called the SAC Museum until 2001.

Hill AFB Museum - Located on the interstate in Ogden on the edge of Hill AFB, the museum is currently developing a missile park. AAFM funded the display of a Snark, and the museum features a number of other missiles and many aircraft.

National Museum of the US Air Force - located in Dayton, Ohio and formerly called the Air Force Museum, now has the Hall of Missiles open. If you have artifacts to donate to help preserve our missile history, contact Doug Lantry at doug.lantry@wpafb.af.mil.

Malmstrom Museum - Located just inside the base gate, the museum features an early history of the area and the base and a complete history of Minuteman at Malmstrom. Displays include a Minuteman Mod trainer and Minuteman II consoles.

Peterson Museum - Located inside the base near the flight line, the museum features an early history of the area and the base and features several aircraft and missiles.

March Field Museum - The March museum moved when the base closed - it is now on the east side of the base, between the base and Air Force Village West. AAFM funded the move of a Minuteman from the old 15AF headquarters to the museum.

The Museum of the Western Prairie - located at 1100 Memorial Drive in Altus, is working on a new Atlas exhibit, with emphasis on the Altus sites and the people who manned them. If you can help with information or display materials, call 580-482-1044 or e-mail muswestpr@ok-history.mus.ok.us.
