Aviation museum in Nebraska , Offutt AFB
The Strategic Air Command & Aerospace Museum is a museum focusing on aircraft and nuclear missiles of the United States Air Force during the Cold War . It is located near Ashland, Nebraska , along Interstate 80 southwest of Omaha . The objective of the museum is to preserve and display historic aircraft, missiles, and space vehicles, and provide educational resources.[2]
History [ edit ]
Offutt Air Force Base , south of Omaha and adjacent to Bellevue, Nebraska . became the headquarters of the United States Air Force's Strategic Air Command in 1948, and continues as the headquarters of U.S. Strategic Command . The museum, then located at Offutt, began with its first airplane in 1959 as the Strategic Aerospace Museum. General Curtis LeMay 's vision of a museum that preserved historic aircraft had become a reality. Over the following years, the outdoor museum's name changed to the Strategic Air Command Museum or SAC Museum . Ownership of the museum transferred from the Air Force to the state of Nebraska in 1970.[1]
On 16 May 1998, after a $33 million grass roots capital campaign, the museum moved indoors to a location more accessible to the public, between Omaha and Lincoln , that allowed the aircraft to be protected from the elements to which they had previously been exposed. As part of the moving process, two aircraft (a Douglas C-124 Globemaster II and C-133 Cargomaster ) were relocated to the Air Mobility Command Museum at Dover Air Force Base , Delaware .
The new museum building is a $29.5 million, 300,000-square-foot (28,000 m 2 [2]
On 15 June 2001, the name of the Strategic Air Command (SAC) Museum was officially changed to the Strategic Air & Space Museum . On 25 June 2015, the museum announced another name change to the Strategic Air Command & Aerospace Museum .[3]
