The Douglas XB-42A Mixmaster is now on temporary display in the 4th Building while the Hawker-Beechcraft MC-12W Liberty returned to the 3rd Building. The Douglas A-1E Skyraider headed to restoration for a paint refresh, & the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-25 returned to aircraft storage.

You asked for a Corsair, so here you go! ✈️ Over the years, many aviation fans have asked us about adding a Corsair. Special thanks to our Building Two volunteers for coming up with this fun placeholder while the Skyraider is away for a paint refresh. #avgeek #history

✈️ Last chance to see the MiG-25! The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-25 is nearing the end of its temporary public display here. Plans call for the MiG-25 to return to storage next week, with the MC-12W Liberty returning to this display location shortly afterward(possibly Thursday).

The MIRV is back on display! The LMG-118A Peacekeeper intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) was more powerful and more accurate than the Minuteman III. It carried 10 nuclear weapons in its Multiple Independently Targetable Re-entry Vehicle (MIRV) warhead.

A special thank you to our Monday volunteer cleaning crew! 🧹✨ From the aircraft to the plants and everything in between, we appreciate all you do to help keep the museum looking its best for our visitors! ✈️🌿 #Volunteers #ThankYou #AirForceMuseum
