These photos were taken at the Air Mobility Command Museum at Dover AFB, Dover DE on 10 January 2004.
The photos are in 2 groups, the first covering the restored nose section on display at the museum and the second covering the unrestored cargo/troop compartment and rear fuselage sections in the restoration hangar on the base (the wings and tail surfaces were stacked against the hangar wall and inaccessible).
