Is your name on the bench?

Aircraft Bench Program

The AMC Museum Foundation is happy to continue our Aircraft Bench Program.

For each $100 donation to the program, you can get your name on a plaque displayed on the aircraft bench of your choice. We’ll also recognize you in the museum’s quarterly newsletter, The Hangar Digest, and our website, as shown further down on this page.

The benches are already on our ramp near their respective aircraft to complement the static displays. As often as possible, they have been placed where visitors can rest in some shade on the ramp. These 8-foot-long benches are high-quality plastic-coated rolled steel with cast aluminum legs.

We usually update the plaques on a bi-annual basis, typically at the end of March and September. Names and additional remarks are posted on our website shortly after your donation is processed.

Take a moment to read some of the stories below. You might be surprised to see some old Air Force buddies in the mix.

The AMC Museum Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. You will receive a thank you letter that you may wish to retain for your records as it may be useful for any available federal/state income tax deduction for this contribution.

Getting Started

You'll be able to add your name to a plaque on these benches: C-5 Galaxy, C-141B Starlifter, C-141A Starlifter, C-130 Hercules, C-124 Globemaster II, C-9A Nightingale, VC-9 Air Force Two, C-54 Skymaster, C-119B Flying Boxcar, C-119G Flying Boxcar, A-26 Invader, C-133 Cargomaster, C-47 Skytrain, B-17 Flying Fortress, KC-135 Stratotanker, KC-97 Stratofreighter, KB-50 Superfortress, KC-10 Extender, and F-106 Delta Dart.

In Memoriam

Donated by Stephanie Rudewicz

My Grandfather was an airplane repairman. He used to work on the sheet metal for the C-5A's. He passed away when I was 9 in 1985. Anytime we went to the mall, my Grandfather would always sit on a bench while my sister and I went into a store. As soon as I heard about the Aircraft Bench Program, I thought this would be the perfect way to honor my Grandfather.

Gregory Bass

436 OMS

Donated by Gregory Bass

I was first assigned to the 780 shop on C-5A's in 1980. I wanted something different and a spot opened up at Transient Alert. I then worked on C-141A/B's, and various visiting planes and copters. I was on mobility and got to go to many places, including the middle east before it got really popular. I received orders to report to Yokota Japan 10/85, and was there 18 months. Did a TDY to Tinian Island where my 2nd Marine father was in WWII. I got out 3/87, and became an A&P crew chief for American Airlines in Chicago. I retired back to Cleveland 10 years ago. I am looking to add an IA to my ticket, and possibly go back to work as an inspector in the Cleveland area in about 2 years. There is a big demand here. Had a great run, and will always remember Dover, and the state bird, the mosquito! I will visit your museum soon, I see a lot of changes since I was there. Looks great.

I was a crew chief stationed at Dover from 1999-2003, Pease ANG 2003-2010. I was involved with multiple maintenance recovery team efforts at Dover after September 11th. Some of the places traveled are: Morone AB Spain, Rota AB Spain, Lodges AB Portugal, Mildenhall RAF England, Keflavik AB, Iceland, Incirlik AB Turkey, including stateside Elmendorf AB Alaska, McGuire AB New Jersey, Anderson AB, Guam, Biggs AAB Texas, Agusta Georgia, Gulfport AB Mississippi and I'm sure some others. Pretty amazing for a young airman in their 20's! Dover was a special place after September 11th 2001. Shortly after we started 12 hour shifts with a 2 hour holdover and the operational tempo went through the roof. Every bridge, home was proudly displaying American flags in support of our community. Even shell and Phillips gas stations had signs of support for 911. Air Power All The Way, A.E.F.!

Our family remains as proud of him today as we were when he pinned on his 2nd Lt. insignia. The AMC Museum is a wonderful tribute to military members and their families.

Donated by Valerie Frankos

Tech. Sgt. Nicholas A. “Nick” Frankos was the kind of guy you always wanted around. Witty and genial, he enjoyed a good joke and always kept those near him on their toes. Known as a hard worker, a teammate, and a friend to all who knew him, Nick joined the Maryland Air National Guard in 1995 while working as a Baltimore County police officer. He later became a full-time Guard employee, working first as a weapons loader and then as a munitions specialist at the Martin State Airport on the C-130 Hercules and later the A-10 Thunderbolt II. His service led him to a total of 10 months of deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. While with the 175th Airlift Wing, he was recognized with the award of the Maryland National Guard Outstanding Soldier/Airman of the Year Ribbon and numerous other awards. He was a history buff and someone interested in the outdoors who enjoyed hunting, camping, and shooting. He also enjoyed whittling wood and intended to carve a complete chess set. He was a man who always put his family first and planned for the future. Life with Nick always was entertaining, and every day with him was unique. IYAAYAS!

Donated by Kaye Cullins

I really enjoyed flying the C-130 because of how much fun it was to fly. It was extremely reliable and versatile. It was easy to maneuver and had handling characteristics better than any large airplane that I have ever flown. It's versatility is the reason why I was able to complete many classified missions. Some were very dangerous and harrowing. This airplane, because of its many capabilities, is why we flew such missions. That is what it was designed to do. It never failed me in 16 years. My two assignments that I mentioned above show only two of the many capabilities of the C-130, specifically airlift of passengers and cargo at Langley, and as a Gunship which was, and still is, a very deadly weapon system. The C-130 capabilities were pushed to the limits on more than one occasion throughout my career. If it wasn't the wonderful great capable airplane that it was (and still is) I wouldn't be here today.

My fondest memories were flying West over the Pacific into beautiful sunsets which lasted hours as we chased the sun. Of course mission always came first, but boy did we have both wonderful and fearful moments. {early 1960s}

I was one of three Radio Operators who did acceptance testing on the comm equipment. It was the fastest upgrade on an aircraft anyone had seen up to that point. The three of us flew all AF2 and First Lady missions on 73-1682. Normal upgrade training for crew was very restricted due to the size of the aircraft and the high level of the missions.

Airman Third Class Miller led a four-man rescue team into the fiery wreckage to evacuate the wounded passengers and crew. He repeatedly led teams of survivors into the burning crash site, finally freeing both the Flight Navigator and Radio Officer who were trapped beneath heavy equipment. Even after a blast threw him from the wreckage, Airman Miller continued to assemble and administer first-aid to the passengers and crew until emergency crews arrived.

During his time in the South Pacific, he received the Air Medal for a dangerous nighttime mission where he landed on a small island carrying emergency supplies. Discharged after the war, he was recalled to active duty during the Korean conflict and decided to make the Air Force a career. He served as an operations officer in Key West during the Cuban Missile Crisis and in 1963 received the Air Force Commendation Medal for his work. He briefed President John F. Kennedy at one point during the crisis, leading the president to remark that he should remain on the job and not be replaced. After his retirement as a lieutenant colonel, he served in various civic positions, including mayor of Easthampton Township, N.J. Because of the economic times, he declined his salary for the position. Joseph Schwarz died in December 1999, in Broomall, Pa.

Dean Stanley

In Memoriam

Donated by Duane Stanley

My uncle, 1st Lt. Dean Stanley, was a pilot that flew the same C-47 in every major airborne operation in the ETO, mostly towing gliders, including at Normandy, Holland, Bastogne, and Crossing of the Rhine. He flew supply and evacuation, flew the pipeline to forward air bases, and shuttled released POWs to France following Germany's surrender. He returned to the U.S. in July 1945 and was officially discharged in November. He was honored with the Air Medal and three oak leaf clusters, five bronze battle starts, and a Presidential Unit Citation and was also three times honored by the French. He was with the 72nd Troop Carrier Squadron, 434th Troop Carrier Group, 53rd Wing. --Duane Stanley

I was stationed at RAF Alconbury as a camera technician with the 1st, 30th, and 32nd Tactical Reconnaissance Squadrons. I worked on the RB-66, and RF-101 for a short time, but mostly on the RF-4C Phantom II. I really enjoyed working on the aircraft. It seemed like important work during the height of the Cold War. I also enjoyed all the temporary duty assignments around Europe, some taken in Alconbury’s C-47 aircraft.

Donated by Priscilla Herr-Neckar

Our Dad, Arthur M. Codding, flew a B-17G. He was in the Eighth Air Force, 388th Bomb Group based in Knettishall, England. He was forced to crash land in Groenekan, Netherlands on his 13th mission. He and his crew were taken prisoner by the Germans almost instantly, but not without being aided by the Dutch Resistance as much as they could before the Germans arrived. The Germans were so close any rescue attempts were thwarted as any members of the resistance would be shot if their tactics were discovered. The Dutch still remember, to this day, the crash landing of the B-17 and have erected a monument memorializing the men that served on that plane. They invited all family members and living members of the crew to the dedication of that monument on the 70th year anniversary of the crash landing. Their overwhelming response to the crew..."We will never forget." Like the Dutch, we must never forget…

Technical Sargeant Ken Hutcherson enlisted in 1942 and served in the Army Air Corps 95th bomb group, 335th squadron during World War II. He was stationed in Horham, England and completed 26 missions as a radio operator and gunner on a B-17 Flying Fortress over enemy occupied Continental Europe from October 6, 1943 to April 27, 1944. He was assigned as an instructor after his missions for six months before returning to the States. His most memorable mission was his fifteenth targeting an aircraft factory at Brunswick. The escort of P-47 fighters did not show up and after crossing the Zuider Zee they were met with hundreds of enemy fighters. They were in a constant air battle for over three hours on the way to their target, lost seven planes from their group and sustained a great deal of damage to their plane Diana. Ken has been honored with an Air Medal with three Oak Leaf Clusters, the Distinguished Flying Cross, three Presidential Citations and a French Chevalier Legion of Honor medal.

The reason I picked the B-17 Flying Fortress Bench is because my great grandfather served our in the United States Army Air Corps before it was renamed as the United States Army Air Force and served overseas in Europe during World War II in the European Theater of Operations where he was in charge of Ground Safety for the Maintenance Division and was honorably discharged as a Staff Sergeant and serving 2 1/2 years. The B-17 flying fortress was a plane used during World War II and was a plane that my great grandfather dealt with on several occasions during his time in Europe He passed away at the age of 102 in 2017 and I want to honor him for everything he did for our country.

A resident of Dover, Del., Bill Willis enlisted in the US Army Air Forces in August 1943. In July 1944, he was assigned to the 467th Bombardment Group at RAF Rackheath in the United Kingdom. Only three missions into his tour, Willis and his crew were shot down Feb. 16, 1945, near Osnabruck, Germany. His parents received word the following month that their son had been reported as missing in action. In reality, Willis’ crew had been interned as prisoners of war near Frankfurt. They were liberated on Apr. 29, 1945, after being marched to a camp in southern Germany. Willis went on to a successful career in his hometown, eventually serving as city clerk/treasurer for Dover.

I had the honor and pleasure of serving in the 108th Air Wing on this jet and many KC-135Es in our super wing. We configured these jets at McGuire Air Force Base to respond on September 11, 2001, proving fighter air cap missions over NY and Washington, DC, as alert aircraft. In November 2001, we deployed our jets to Oman where we served in Operation Enduring Freedom, flying long sorties to Afghanistan, conducting aerial refueling missions, achieving a 100% fully mission capable rate throughout the mission, a first for the U.S. Air Force. During OEF, we became the 405th Expeditionary Operations Group. It was a honor and privilege to serve with many professionals during these missions. We lost friends and family members in the World Trade Centers on 9/11 and these missions meant a lot to us while we were serving in Oman and flying to Afghanistan.

I served there for three-and-a-half years and was one of the last qualified crew chiefs on the B-52 and the KC-135. I loved the Air Force, but my wife didn’t, so after separating, I spent 34-and-one-half years working as a mechanic at United Airlines.

Donated by Louis Chapman

I enlisted in February 1958, graduated from reciprocating engine school at Chanute Air Force Base, Rantoul, Ill. in mid-August, and reported to the 421st Air Refueling Squadron, Yokota Air Base, Japan, in mid-September. At the time, the squadron had 20 KB-50Js assigned and since this was the first type aircraft I worked on, I thought it was the most fantastic plane I had ever seen. Four Pratt and Whitney R-4360s with 28 cylinders and 56 spark plugs made for a lot of work, but I loved it. The 421st handled most of the refueling ASSIGNMENTS in the Far East and the Western Pacific, so most of us were able to go on temporary duty to various countries and islands in support of the missions. I had a chance to see the Museum’s 431st ARFES KB-50J at MacDill AFB, Fla., although it was marked incorrectly as a 421st aircraft complete with a 421st tail number and before the salt air from Tampa Bay took a toll on it. I am happy to finally see it at the AMC Museum and the work that has been accomplished since it arrived. This plane will be representative of the 136 KB-50J/K model tankers from our six squadrons that flew so many years ago.

The KB-50 came to the 431st in January 1957 when the unit was activated at Turner AFB in Albany, GA. The 431st provided aerial refueling support for TAC units traveling to and from the European theater. What excitement was in store for us when two jet engines were added a year or two later and the plane became the KB-50J. The 431st moved to Biggs AFB, El Paso, TX, in 1959 to support similar TAC missions over the Pacific. As I recall, the navigation equipment on board may not have actually been “state of the art” but it fit snuggly and usefully in the tight Navigators’ compartment.

He was a Crew Chief and an electrician for the F-106 Delta Dart. The AMC Museum was the 95th FIS hangar. Occasionally, when my sister, brother and I were with my mom on base at the commissary or base exchange, we were able to swing by and visit my dad on the flight line at "his" hangar.
