The Malmstrom Museum is an aviation museum located at Malmstrom Air Force Base near Great Falls, Montana.
History
The museum was dedicated on 3 July 1982, at the time being housed in two trailers previously used as classrooms on the base.[4] In 1989 it received a P-63 restoration project from the New England Air Museum.[5] The museum closed for renovations in 1996 and reopened two and a half years later in a larger building.[6]
Exhibits
Displays at the museum include a launch control center from a ballistic missile silo, a mockup of a World War II barracks, a model airplane collection, an AIR-2 missile, and a core memory element of a FSQ-7 computer.[7][8][9]
On display outside are a totem pole, a LGM-30G missile, a missile transport vehicle, an MPS-9 radar trailer, a Dodge Power Wagon ambulance, a Peacekeeper armored vehicle, and a 1947 Ford.[8]
