Travis AFB Museum collection

Recommended Posts

Like a number of USAF bases, Travis AFB near Suisun City California has its own in house museum. Travis is primarily home to AMC's 60th AMW currently equipped with C-5M, KC-10A, and C-17As, so not surprisingly the museum has a largely airflift theme, but also has a decent selection of other predominantly US military types. I visited the base in the Spring of 2016 and here's some shots to give a flavour of what is on display.

Having been stationed at Travis and now living in the local area I have been to the museum a number of times.  They even have some of my handiwork on display in their extensive model collection.

Later,

Dave,

Yes, that model collection is even more impressive than the real artefacts! It seems the Britmodeller community shows up in the most unexpected of places! 

PS We liked Suisun City too, had a great night out there in a karaoke bar!

Great shots, I went a number of years ago but couldn't get into the building as it was the year of the government shut down. Got to drive through the base though, lots of interesting air frames dotted around.
