Moved to the Air Mobility Command Museum at Dover AFB in 2004.

The C-124 had a removable upper deck for carrying passengers. This photo shows the deck in place.

Restoration continued at the AMC Museum with the vertical stabilizer installed in late 2006. The aircraft is currently (January 2018) completely restored and on display at the museum. Note that for some reason this C-124C does not have the usual wingtip combustion heaters installed.

Post restoration paint job is almost complete but cold weather has prevented the painting contractor from finishing his work. Note that this C-124C does not have the usual wingtip combustion heaters installed.
