The museum itself is actually remote from the airport and is a residential neighborhood.  Inside are many fine displays and aircraft. 


The F-4, UH-1 and A-7 are all pylon mounted at the main musuem.


The A-12 and S-2 are many of the aircraft in an air park next to the Birmingham Airport.  It is secured so one needs to ask the Museum Director to have a museum employee take you into the air park.

Below are the rest of the aircraft located in the air park.


In an adjacent lot to the air park this F-84 is being prepared for display.


The TF-102 has a side by side cockpit arrangement.  I had never seen this before.


I believe these helicopters were being stored temporarily outside due to construction in the main display hangar.


The T-33 is an outside display.

This OH-58 guards the main entrance to the Army Aviation Museum.


This AH-56 may be a one of a kind.


Another rare aircraft, the V-5 or XV-5.

Ft. Rucker:  North Gate  UH-1  November 2008 - This is at the gate that brings you into the base from Ozark on Alabama 85.

Ft. Rucker:    AH-1, OH-58  March 2011- These are located in front of a building just constructed in the past couple of years.  Google Maps currently shows the building under construction.

Madrid:  Alabama Welcome Center one mile north of AL-FL state line on US231   UH-1   March 2011 - Madrid is the nearest town but a mile away.

Mobile:  USS Alabama  B-25, B-52, CH-21, F-4, HH-52, HU-16, Mig-17   April 2010 - The F-4 is a true Gate Guard as it stand out at the entrance to the USS Alabama park.  There is also an excellent inside museum and some other aircraft outside waiting on repairs after suffering damage after Hurricane Katrina.  A wall of water came up the bay and demolished many of the aircraft on display, necessitating repairs to all.  Unfortunately there has not been a lesson learned here by the museum as some day again another hurricane will again send a wall of water up the bay and again damage or destroy these national treasures.
