I must admit that I too was quite disappointed in the ARMY AV Museum. The small size of the building limits the number of aircraft available to be seen. Perhaps the army should open the storage hangers for visiters and use the actual museum as an awards presentation area to our fine solders who have distinguished themselves, as it was on the day I visited. Also I too made a 950 mile,one way,trip by motorcycle, although I wasn't allowed to walk on base. After about a total of 2.5 hours spent at the Enterprize and Daleville guard shacks the MP's were called. Thank God someone with a higher IQ realized if I could drive 950 miles down there I could probibly make the last 100 yards safely, which I did. Thank You Miss MP. Sadly I cannot even give the museum a single star. Whoever set it up I prey is not responsible for any lives and is working at Del Taco as we speak.

I was a bit disappointed. The scrapped the large Boeing Helicopter that was on display outdoors, The Stinson inside the front door has the horizontal tail mounted upside down (drain holes belong on the bottom). Most of all I was on a motorcycle and the gate guard stated that motorcycles were not welcome and I had to show proof of having attended a safety course to enter the main gate. I had traveled over 600 miles and did not have the documentation. I parked outside the gate and walked to the museum. Not a big problem but my handicaped wife was not able to. Also most of the unusual and rare aircraft were not on display and are impossible to view.

I was an OH-58 crew chief and graduated from the first Enlisted Aerial Observer Course, there were only eight of us, at Ft. Rucker. I always enjoyed the museum then and look forward to returning to visit the museum in the future. Thank you for doing a wonderful job of preserving these great birds and our heritage. The history of U.S. Army Aviation is secure in your hands. I salute you. Scouts out, Sir!

Great site! I was an Aero Scout (OH58) Crew Chief in Germany from 1985 till 1993 with C Co 501st ABC, B Co 10th AHB, D Trp 1-1 CAV and A Co 2-1 AVN. Nice to see these old birds preserved for future generations!

My brother, Arthur A. Williams, Major, USA (Ret) was a Master Army Aviator. He died unexpectedly in Germany on 26 May 2005, and will be buried in Arlington National Cemetery on 15 June 2005 at 10:00 AM. After his release from active duty in 1972 he became well-known for his restoration of, or, "built from scratch", antique and classic aircraft. Many of his projects were exhibited in the Champlin Fighter Museum in Mesa, Arizona, and several are now on display in the Museum of Flight in Seattle, Washington. In recent years he was a Designated Airworthiness Representative for the Federal Aviation Administration and specialized in inspection and certification of light and experimental aircraft. This statement is submitted for your consideration and whatever action you deem appropriate. An obituary is available.

Outstanding museum. It's presented in a way that members of any branch of service and even civilians can appreciate. The staff is friendly and willing to answer any questions posed to them. Well worth a visit.
